September 12, 2021 - Rogue US wine brought to Italian whites survey. While this one was educational it's real purpose seemed to be to highlight how much better the vermentino from sardinia was that we tested alongside this one. Palate was short and finished on an unpleasant unripe note. Perhaps unripe pear skin, I didn't dwell on it too much. I think this probably got some lees age as there is diacetyl on nose and palate.

August 28, 2020 - We pulled this after a long week filled with a string of challenges. It was the second bottle of the night ... for just the two of us. A very different wine from the Rochioli that started the evening with lemon oil, Meyer lemon compote and pear. Decidedly less body than the Rochioli. This is a wine that delivers flavor and character. 13.5% alc. With molé and goaty cheeses. 08.28.20. Recommended.

July 10, 2020 - This has picked up more color in the past 6 months showing more yellow than silver moon. Yet the nose and palate remain clean with mineral, pear, white flower ... maybe a bit of orange blossom. The mouthfeel is crisp, but neither lean nor fat ... it’s just right. This is a wine that delivers flavor and character. It’s a bit too lean for the buttery cheeses. 13.5% alc. With molé, and butter-soft cheeses. Recommended.
