Community Tasting Note

• COWineLover wrote: 89 points

  July 23, 2022 - Recalling from my prior tasting experience this needed to be cooled down more than cellar temperature before consumption, this was stored in the refrigerator for about 90 minutes before serving with sushi. Serving temperature was about 48 degrees and it is probably better at 43-45 degrees. Aromatically generous with pronounced Meyer lemon, quince, Asian pear, and herbal tea. On the palate the acidity is not flabby, but it lacks the concentration of a quality Sancerre. This seems to be losing vigor from the prior bottle consumed several months ago. A solid attack with the Meyer lemon predominant but not much else going on. This turns abruptly in the mid palate into a limestone and mineral pastiness without much length.
  
  For the price a respectable wine, but seems to lack the depth and complexity of other cool climate region Sauvignon Blanc. I continue to recommend this to be consumed by 2024, and possibly accelerating that timeline.
  
  Day 1 - Score 88
  
  Day 2 - Half the bottle was stored overnight in the refrigerator. Day 2 the wine cooled down and was served at 43 degrees after warming somewhat before serving. This temperature struck me as being in the right zip code. The acidity had a little more flashiness today where the Meyer lemon fans out on the palate allowing some lime notes to enter along with some salinity and more subtle limestone. A much better tasting experience.
  
  Day 2 score 90.
