January 11, 2020 - Rhys Alpine/Horseshoe Tasting at Frank's (Frank Murray's Casa): Bagged but knew all but which vineyard was in which bag. Nose shows immediate honeysuckle then some sulfury wood and citrus. Light bodied and crisp. Especially in comparison to the wine next to it. Touch of a grip. The concentration level seems lower than the Alpine. Being blind that concentration made me default my guess to Horseshoe since I have little experience with this vineyard's Chards. I'd like to try this again after the oak has some time to integrate. It's a light touch and expresses more in the vein of how you smell it in a Burgundy. But I'm not certain I'd want to got longer than 10 years on this either. I found the Alpine more compelling if less classic. This was solid to good.
