November 4, 2023 - Agree with many of the positive comments below. Great salinity, with a nice acidic spine. A fair bit of energy wound up here (not quite as extreme as the best white burgs I've had but enough to take note). Really interesting nose with exotic floral notes. Whoever said this is reminiscent of Miani whites is onto something! What distinguishes this, though, is the unmistakable sea air quality and how well it pairs with seafood dishes.

March 2, 2020 - Leap Day dinner Trelio's (Clovis Ca.): This was WILD...I loved it! Some thought it was slightly corked, I thought totally not! Rainwater purity of fruit, energized citrus acidity, salty sea minerality funk...and a very intriguing wet wool, lanolin ala Chenin Blanc. Creamy yet bone dry...exotic...refreshing with slight ox...floral...and one cool drink!

October 11, 2015 - lovely again, I should keep this (I think it would age well), but it is so enjoyable now. Trying more Malvasia lately and this one is particularly good.
