June 26, 2021 - IWFS Jax: a night of Oregon & Washington (Queens Harbour): Working off of memory here since I really didn't take detailed notes and this was a few weeks ago. This is a wine that I find often on restaurant lists and while it's not my most favorite I find it very quaffable at a reasonable price point. Same impression here. It's drier than some Pinot Gris although I don't think of it as completely dry. Easy. Perhaps could do with a touch more acid. It's a basic wine, but it drinks just fine.
August 4, 2019 - Not too fruity; a tad bitter and dry
April 24, 2019 - This shows a sense of place. The nose opens to gently honeyed notes of limes, stonefruit, citrus pith, quince, and minerals. Dry, textural, and complex in the mouth, with excellent freshness, spicy vibrancy, and a slight prick to the crunchy fruit flavors. So easy to like.
March 30, 2019 - Very nice nose and the palate has some very nice citrusy flavors but the lingering sweetness is a bit too much for me.
February 22, 2019 - Fragrant et ample, belle fraicheur et acidité.
Pas mal long et bon.
February 13, 2019 - Very pleasant wine. Slightly sweet and a bit tangy. Was best when served cool rather than ice cold. Excellent value.

N: CLOSED; Pears, poss apples?
P: LM body; Very RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish frt deftly balanced by a tangy acidity which controls the action into & through the LONG, tangy/swt (70:30) finish. For now & into EARLY '20, + MIGHT improve a bit through '18. 13.5% ABV; My VG+/EXC-. 91 pts & "Editors' Choice" WE @ $19, 89 Decanter, 87 WA, and Silver @ '18 S.F. Chronicle Wine Comp. [This vendor's $13.99 puts it in the top 15% of wine-searcher's listings.]
June 6, 2018 - Pale amber color. Nice floral nose. On the palate, stones, green apple, and pear come in. Medium-bodied and silky texture, with a honeyed finish. Quite worthy.
June 3, 2018 - Decent Pinot Grigio. Slight off taste on finish. Medium acid compared to others. Pale yellow muted nose. Glad the acid is restrained and fuller than the Albariño I just opened.
May 29, 2018 - Balanced and fresh with a range of citrus and stone fruit flavors. 13.5% alc Nice value at $13
