Community Tasting Notes 8

  April 15, 2012 - Elegant, lovely Piedmont white. Nose is softly floral (agreed with other reviewers on the jasmine), lemony and flinty. Very lean palate, dominated by acidity and mineral notes, with a little bit of citrus fruit up front. Finishes dry, with only a little lingering tartness. Very refreshing and enjoyable.

  March 12, 2012 - From this maker of world famous Carema (if not it should be) this bright yellow wine is yeasty, bready, with floral undertones upfront. On the palate its light, bright acidity, clean. Lacks mouth feel or any lengthy finish. This would pair nicely with certain cheeses and other milk-fat related dishes. Nice.

  September 17, 2011 - Color: straw/hay, little bit of neon, translucent
  
  Nose: Spring wildflowers, lemon, wet rocks, under-ripe peach, chamomile tea, ammonia/cat pee
  
  Palate: Fat and silky mouthfeel with razor sharp, bright acidity. High minerality, with hints of spruce, juniper, and lemon peel. Strong finish dominated by excellent acidity.

  August 15, 2011 - nice wine, apples, rocks, and lemon on the nose. Very acidic. Mouthfeel: felt heavy/thick. Taste: Lemon/peaches. More minerals/acid than fruit. Went really well w/ Skate w/ brown butter sauce . . . it tasted like a CA Chard w/the fish.
