Community Tasting Notes 6

  July 3, 2020 - If you’re looking for some nice fresh fruit in your white wine you’re not only in the wrong pew, you’re in the wrong church. This is all about saline minerality. Not steely or even especially austere, instead maybe a bit of limestone, lemongrass and yellow mustard. Much more dense and viscous than a few years ago. Interesting wine but I’m not anxious to repeat the experience.

  April 10, 2020 - This seems better than my prior bottle. The nose is still quite ripe, mango, ripe orchard fruits, floral, and a hint of pepper. The palate however, seems fresher and more vibrant, certainly ripe, but the balance seems improved and it has a lovely finish. Seems to still be on the upswing to me. Wish I had a few more.

  March 9, 2020 - Notes after an hour open. Light to medium gold color with a clear body and nice shine. No sediment.
  Light to medium intensity nose of lovely peach, apple, mango, and rosin powder. The palate is extraordinary as the mouthfeel is both weightless, and rich and round. Hard to believe it is anywhere near 13% as labeled. My only want is for a longer finish but overall, this is a beautiful bottle of wine.
  5+12+17+9= 93

  August 10, 2019 - A great day for whites. This was really tasty. Very herbal with pepper and lemon. The wine is quite savory and lean but at the same time has a surprising richness underlying these elements that makes the wine taste very balanced and expansive. Light and refreshing but with an underlying richness that rounds out the palate beautifully.

  December 31, 2018 - I found this to be good, though almost a little bit too ripe and lacking a touch of precision on the finish; the nose is lovely and has ripe stone fruits, green pepper, herbs, mineral notes; the palate is broad and lacks a bit of focus; it finishes with a mineral, almost metallic note and seems slightly unctuous which I wouldn't expect from this varietal. Still all in all it was tasty and enjoyable.
