March 20, 2018 - Fair
June 19, 2016 - brought to Jess and JP when they got to LA
May 3, 2014 - Medium straw color. Lavender and a bit of orange blossom on the nose. Fruity, predominantly pear and peach on the palate with maybe a touch of lychee. Suspect there is a fair amount of Riesling in this. A little sweet for me. If this is largely Riesling, there is a notable absence of the acidity necessary to offset the sweetness. It has been several years butI remember this being drier.
October 4, 2013 - had at an after grape picking lunch with cold cuts. very nice. back to the older conundrum style
August 22, 2013 - Overly sweet and flat, little acidity.
June 29, 2013 - Anniversary dinner at Morgan's Harbor in Grand Cayman. Dark golden color, lots of Reisling-like acidity/sweetness interplay, and a clear hint of gasoline amid the sweet white fruits.
April 30, 2013 - As usual, a go to bottle for weekday white. Pineapple & Granny Smith nose. Medium palate and tropical fruits, pineapple kiwi and green apple with some honeydew. Well balanced. Preferred the 2009 vintage, but I think this one is ready to drink now. More balanced after open for 45 minutes. Last glass was great.
April 2, 2013 - Fruity and smooth...and live the half bottle option!
March 10, 2013 - Light golden color. Nose peppery. Initial tastes were a combination of tomato paste, pepper, and an oaky chardonnay. As time went on, it evolved into a Gwertztraminer-like taste but with some air/bubbly flavors like a wine flavored seltzer water. The peppery tastes lingered. Sweet in a muscadet-like way. Touch buttery and smooth. Actually held its' own against spicy chili and spicey Indian vegetable dishes but I wouldn't have pushed it more than that.
March 3, 2013 - Nice easy to drink wine. Flavours of peach, nectarine and apricot were very noticeable. Wine was strong on tannins as it warmed up a little bit and flavour did not hold well in fridge after a couple of days (even with vacuum pump). Still a very accessible wine for most occasions.
