  February 4, 2022 - Nose of fresh-cut yellow delicious apple.
  Palate of ginger and Jewish apple cake that then morphs quickly into honey lemon cough drops. More oxidized than expected. The acidity is still there, but i’m missing the citrus punch. I’m sure others may rate this higher because as a wine it’s good - but the flavors just aren’t my cup of tea.

  February 21, 2013 - Aromas of lemon, peach, white florals, almond skins and saline minerals wafted up from the glass in a beautiful bouquet. Almost a year in the cellar has softened the palate slightly, making the nectarine and orange peel notes a tad sweeter yet, this wine's zesty acidity, keeps it perfectly balance. The finish leaves citrus and mineral notes lingering long on the palate.
