January 26, 2019 - 4th Saturday Group (M/M thelostverse): Double blind. Rich and viscous with orchard fruit aromas. Abundant fruit on the palate; long finish. Guessed roussanne.
January 26, 2019 - Warmup white prior to main tasting. This had some nice minerality and floral notes, but something on the palate I couldn't identify came across heavy handed and detracted a bit for me.
December 12, 2018 - A huge nod to American Albarino
July 6, 2018 - Very refreshing on a hot day. Good acid backbone and fruit still there. Nice wine.
July 2, 2016 - The always steady wine that is a great pairing with seafood. To see this is a must have in the cellar.
May 30, 2016 - Pop-n-pour. Smells like a Viognier. Tastes a bit like Viognier too but much more tart with a lemon-lime vibe and subtle mineral notes. Loads of acidity. A nice crisp Summer sipper.
April 18, 2016 - My last bottle and it hasn't changed since last summer. Identical notes. I tried this side by side with the '12 and that one seemed much fresher with stronger acidity & mineral notes. This is still tasty but I'd drink by the end of this summer.
March 14, 2016 - Wife loves this wine. Similar note to 1.5 years ago - initially sweet, but with a dry finish. Pear, green apple, oily. 13% ABV. Good stuff. Drink now or hold for a few years.
September 29, 2015 - Interesting comparing this to my note from a year ago. The aromas and flavors match, both within this wine and with last year- tropical fruit and melon, now adding white flowers. The freshness is starting to fade slightly but that minerality I mentioned being absent a year ago is here now. Actually the finish is the best part of the wine as it's surprisingly long, keeps the fruit flavors and adds light-medium acidity and medium+ mineral notes. Nice structure and tasty, likely best now but should last through next summer.
September 11, 2015 - Too heavy and jammy
