  April 7, 2012 - Yes, it has mineral, or at least wet limestone. And yes it shows some melon flavors. But more than anything it is a “lemon-drop of a wine” with sweet-sour cleanness of lemon. It smells and tastes of lemon-drop. On the fringe may be some lime and glimpses of melon and wet limestone, but it’s lemon-drop from attack to finish. But it’s also showing a little bit of age just now too. 13% alc. With Cajun crab dip after a full day of odds and ends around the house (taxes, workmen installing downdraft vent, basement insulation, lawn mowing, general clean up), just a hectic, active day. Recommended.

  September 4, 2010 - Much like the last bottle with loads of melon, limon, shist and mineral. on the evening of a hot Friday beginning Labor Day weekend. With spring pea crostini.

  October 9, 2009 - Like the dust of stars, this is almost clear in the glass. But it does not sparkle in the least. Solid and well made, this wine delivers, but in an uninspired way. Heavy on the grass and mineral (schist, wet limestone and lime), it also offers boxwood and grapefruit. I like this wine. 12.5% alc. With crusty bread and truffled goat cheese. It works. Also sipped the next day with a rosemary ham and gouda cheese sandwich. Recommended.

  June 20, 2009 - A slight lemon yellow shade looks more like sunlight than many of the days this past week. But after some time in the yard trimming boxwoods, this seemed like the best refresher. Delightful lemon-drop of a wine. It smells and tastes of lemon-drop with a hint of lime somewhere hidden around an edge all wrapped around a core of mineral and limestone. This not a steely wine, but a wine of both good cut while delivering sufficient heft of mouthfeel. Yeah, I like this. 13% alc. With chevre (both a Napoleon from Rainbeau Ridge and Flur Verte). With Prewitt Scripps after English boxwood trimming lessons. Recommended.

  September 13, 2008 - Enjoyed at the Dortons’ while watching USC beat the tar out of Ohio St. No notes. Excellent, however, with the canteloup tray.
