June 30, 2023 - DO NOT DRINK THIS TOO COLD!!!!
lovely golden hue, in color.
smoky, melon driven nose. some lemon-lime notes
round, chewy, balanced profile, with a longish finish. really quite nice. White CdP can be finicky, as is this one. But give it some air, and drink closer to ambient room temperature, and this sings nicely

July 1, 2020 - EEE July 2020 Rhone Wines (@ AR): Beautiful and complex bouquet with smoke, minerals, flint stone, flowers and white fruits. On the palate the same impressions, full bodied and a bit fat, some anise, beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness. Good length. Two years of ageing did the wine good and made it much more complex. Love it.

November 26, 2018 - Lively, lingering citrus and honey. Nice body, nice legs. Well-rounded. Pretty great wine.

September 9, 2018 - delicious with yellow stone fruit and depth. Mineral and with a bitter ending, refreshing still. Would recommend drinking not too cold

July 8, 2018 - Second Sunday Group: Finger Lakes Riesling (Mike & Judi's): Courtesy of B&A very much more what I was in the mood for today as this is immediately appealing to me. Apple, melon and quince notes to start. Abundant fruit on the palate with plenty of acidity. Lemon/citrus quality in the finish. Picks up a lovely floral/perfumed quality, almost sweet like honeysuckle or jasmine but not quite to that level. Orchard fruit, citrus and melon flavors. Finishes very well. 92-93+ pts.
