Community Tasting Note

  • RajivAyyangar wrote: 85 points

    May 1, 2017 - MNB: High Terpene Whites (Home (Noe st)): Medium Yellow in the glass
    - Slight peach, but also butter, oak, yellow apples, VA (ethyl acetate)
    Dry (maybe slight RS, but probably not), full-bodied, high alcohol (15%), medium acid, medium bitterness.
    Ripe peach with butterscotch and vanilla.

    Whole cluster pressed, stainless steel ferment, 1/3 no malo, 1/3 used oak with delestage/racking, 1/3 in used oak sur lie.

    This is a pretty good example, but needs more peach.

    6/3/17, 8:26 PM - Delestage isn't a term interchangeable with racking. it refers to a type of cap management technique that often extracts more tannin than punchdowns (pigeage) or pumpovers (remontage). the term you're probably looking for is soutirage.
