Community Tasting Note

  • KPB wrote: 89 points

    July 28, 2020 - Very pale gold, with a nose showing yellow currents and beeswax, bitter orange peel, musk. Assertive palate showcases these old vines (Sylvaner, Riesling, others) at low yields harvested just shy of ripeness. Fantastic match for the spicy Indian food we ate last night, but a bit overpowering on its own.

I fixed the note... in fact I don’t know Sylvaner at all, but I can see how Riesling could give that overly assertive palate (we get a lot of great Riesling here in the Fingerlakes, but sometimes a wine sits on its lees a bit too long and becomes overextracted). Anyhow, served quite cold with spicy food, it works extremely well.
