  December 14, 2022 - Too old! This wine is only good within 3 years of vintage date. The 2016 is beginning to turn yellow rather than its normal clear, light green. Very little fruit and almost completely green hay and grassy flavors. These bottles were chalky, dried out and kaput!

  February 22, 2019 - At first glance the wine was closed and bitter, perhaps slightly too chilled. Upon a second attempt the second day, and allowing the bottle to sit at room temperature, the aromatics started to shine.
  Aerated for several minutes. Prominent mineral and floral notes carry the wine though the finish, joined by lemongrass, hints of melon and plenty of acidity.
  Interesting.

  January 5, 2019 - Taste New Wines, Part 2 (San Diego Wine Co.): TOO cold
  
  N: Lanolin like overlay to earthiness; Intensity lurking?
  
  P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE frt met by a crisp acidity which certainly defines the wine into & through the LONG, init very, VERY slightly tart finish which is ULT mitigated by a refined swtness. Classically done for now & probably through '20, though probably BEST for those with a high tolerance for acidity. 13.5% ABV; My EXC-. 90 pts WS & a "Best Buy", 89-91 WA (Dunnuck), & 88 WE @ $14. [While this vendor's $11.99 is competitive, wine-searcher does currently show a source @ $10.95.]
