May 26, 2012 - Light bodied. Slight Oak. Slight minerality. Restrained lemony citrus (like the smell of citrus on your hands). Grassy. Flavors were not very pronounced, consumed over the course of a day. Versatile and agreeable, extremely dry and approachable. Unexciting, but could be enhanced by a good pairing.

April 20, 2012 - Subtle fruit flavor - could be stronger. Nice palate weight. The finish bothered me a bit but couldn't figure out why. Better on day 2 for some reason.
