Dagalaifus Likes this wine: 90 points
May 20, 2018 - Light straw in the glass with a nose of stone fruits and melon. On the palate, the wine is atypically (for a GV) fruit forward with the same stone fruits, melon, as well as red apple and a touch of spritz. The lengthy finish is infused with hints of white pepper and baking spices. Be warned, it goes down fast in the hot Spring sun. At less than $25/bottle, the Hundspoint has an outstanding QPR. BTW, I rarely mention a wine's label in a tasting note, but this one (i.e. a couple of grotesque monsters) is pretty ugly. Don't let it dissuade you from trying this absolutely delightful wine, which I'd pair with lobster or flounder fried in butter. Subsequent bottles have failed to impress; accordingly, I have lowered my score.
