  January 20, 2020 - Wow was this a surprise! Nice light yellow color with a well balanced icidic nose with a light yellow color and a medium weight body with some complexity and a medium length aftertaste. It stood up well to a lovely Pecorino and to a Sonoma Chardonnay.

  November 17, 2019 - Monthly Tasting Group: Spain (Estelle, St. Paul, MN): Light gold color. Followed a glass over an hour. Green tea, herbal and very floral, cat pee, citrus, lychee on the nose. This is one of those totally in your face wines, both on the nose and palate. The palate is acidic and rather bracing, tea, herbal, cat pee, grapefruit, lychee and some stone. If you like an aggressive NZ Sauv Blanc then you'll like this.

  October 20, 2019 - Not something I would drink again. Had a odd metallic taste to it along with floral and orange rind. No one enjoyed it. Gut impression. 80 points
