Community Tasting Note

  • Wackogracko Likes this wine: 88 points

    July 2, 2018 - Poured at 48-50F, warmed as it sat in the glass.
    A - medium straw to pale yellow color with bubbles from slight effervescence.

    N - complex nose with citrus including grapefruit pith and lime skin, wet stone, and slight jalapeño, mint and floral notes.

    P - huge notes of mineral and bitter citrus on the palette including lime skin and grapefruit pith. Not overly complex here but very mineral and citrus driven through the mid palate with a very subtle effervescence to clear things and make way for the finish. Acid driven but not overwhelming and extremely low sugar.

    F - finish is surprisingly complex and opens up a bit, introducing tropical fruit flavors including nectarine, passion fruit, and white peach. Surprisingly long finish for a wine with some much acid on the palate.

    Excellent wine for a mineral/citrus driven wine with really low sweetness that is easy to drink but complex and interesting. Would absolutely buy again at $15-20 price point.
