December 7, 2023 - Un-named Atlanta Wine Tasting Group - High End Reds; 12/7/2023-12/10/2023 (Beebe House): Starter wine for tasting.
Pale yellow color. On nose, slate, lemon, apple on nose/palate. Full body, medium acidity and long finish. 91+/-
March 18, 2023 - The same flavors from three years ago are still there: green apple, butterscotch, sea air, and honey almond. It’s showing it’s age pretty well. Compared to last time, I maybe get more apple cider than green apple, less butterscotch, and burnt orange peel rather than fresh lemon peel, It was fine, but nothing special. The flavors seemed a little muted. Just an ok match with Sardine pasta for St. Joseph’s day. I’m going to save my last bottle for another 3-4 years. Better closer to room temperature. Best in Riedel Chablis, decent in Grassle, but not great in Zalto white wine glass.
December 22, 2022 - This was really lovely and definitely a step above my bottle 2+ years ago. It has bright acidity, a beautiful light to medium lemon yellow color and a fragrant nose that flashes raw almonds, honeysuckle, apricot and creamy vanilla. Palate has a great texture and layers of flavor that reflect the nose but a pop on the finish from the acidity and creamy almond and pear notes. I used a little of this in a sausage, mushroom and cream sauce that I added to some spinach and cheese ravioli. Long, persistent and delicious!
November 7, 2022 - Didn't take notes - consistent with my note from 8/20 as I recall. Aging nicely. 90-91 range. Would buy again.
January 15, 2022 - Similar to the 9/5/21 bottle.
September 26, 2021 - Similar to the 9/5/21 bottle.
September 5, 2021 - Straw yellow color. Aromas of apples and pears, almonds and spring flowers. Ripe, medium-bodied nicely-balanced fruit in the mouth with excellent depth and length. Juicy and long on the palate. This delicious wine was a knockout with Paula’s Sicilian swordfish. Excellent value.
March 18, 2021 - I have gone through half a case and not left a note....I love this wine. Minerally, floral, pear, almond. Good marriage of texture, coastal perfume, and citrus. Will improve with age. Needs air still, and not too cold.
December 20, 2020 - Fresh red apples with tropical fruits and almonds. Butterscotch. Nice acidity and sea air on the finish. I mostly drank this on its own, but I think it’s better with food. Also, better with some air and on the warmer side of the spectrum.
November 5, 2020 - Lovely citrus, lemon, lots of chalk & mineral-somewhat more than expected. Balanced, a bit of richness from hints of yellow stone fruit on palate but retains nice acidity. Better than my recall of prior bottle, mostly from enhanced mineral quality.
