March 13, 2021 - Appearance - clear, medium gold. Has a brown straw color too.
Nose - clean, youthful, medium minus intensity. Not getting tons on nose give how long it has been open. Can eke out, lemon peel, more like a fragrant vs a real note.
Palate - vibrant, clean, clear, crisp, minerality, acidity is medium maybe medium plus, a little nutty (as in almonds not crazy) fruit is apple, maybe lemon, it’s not intense fruit. More mineral driven with a hint of citrus. Finish is medium. Alcohol medium. Clearly dry. Body is medium. You get the sense this saw some oak. Some cedar which is balanced and appears on finish.
For the NYC during Covid premium we pay, it’s ok, non descript, will I run out and stock up, no, is it fine to drink and paired well with dinner, absolutely.
Wine seems well made. As I sip it I think about Cali chards and how over the top they are. This is subtle with finesse. I feel like this is a wine that morphs with what you are serving and brings out its best. Be it herbs, shellfish, etc.
It’s a nice wine.1 person found this helpful 896 views
