  August 31, 2019 - Very Nice....Reminds me of a Sauvignon Blanc with a little more acid and minerality. Was better as it warmed a little.

  August 18, 2019 - A little green apple and graprefruit. Perhaps even a little floral giving the hint of sweetness, but it's bone dry and nice and tart. I've never had this grape before, but it feels like it's a cross between a Chenin Blanc and a Reisling what with the acid character and the flowery taste.

  August 4, 2019 - On the nose; green table grapes, golden delicious apple and citrus zest. Also a slightly floral note.
  On the palate; white peach, freshly picked pear, grapefruit and tangerine. Bright acidity and pronounced minerality.
  Day 2: A little rounder on the nose. More of a ripe pear than freshly picked and stronger golden delicious apple than before. Less citrus on the nose than yesterday but more on the palate.
  I am tasting some green apple. Also still getting grapefruit and tangerine. Kind of a “Sweet-Tart” wine but mostly tart - not really sweet. Overall sense of citrus on the palate.
  Acidity has dropped just slightly. Minerality still in full effect but like the nose, the palate/mouthfeel is a little fuller and rounder now. Likely due to the 5 months elevage on the lies.
  Not even close to being over the hill, this wine is aging very gracefully.

  December 14, 2014 - Revisiting, could not drink this. Reminded me of '70's jug wine. DtD.
