Community Tasting Notes 8

  November 26, 2017 - Shocked to find 3 bottles in my basement. Surprised that it's still drinking nicely. I opened it on Thanksgiving day, but since so much was going on, I didn't take specific notes. Finished it over the weekend.

  October 8, 2013 - 86 is a fairly high score for me, for a white wine, so take that as you will. This was a nice, crisp, bone dry wine. Very pale in color and very clean tasting (no bitterness or off-flavors that I always tend to pick-up on in white wines. I got slight more mineral then fruit, but that is probably just my pallet adjusting to the dryness. Little bit of tropical fruit, but I got more of a green apple from it. Good wine, definitely a more enjoyable white, just probably not in the price range that I would spend for a white that doesn't blow me away.

  September 11, 2012 - This wine really does it for me. Beautiful tropical fruit, nice acidity, great mouthfeel. The $18 price isn't cheap, but is well worth it for my palate.
