Community Tasting Notes 10

  May 5, 2012 - Tasty, but doesn't bring anything new. Had purchased this a while back on a Cinderella Wine offer. The blend featuring a varietal new to me, Hondarrabi Zuri, combined with Riesling was certainly an attraction. Nose showed mild citrus and floral notes, which followed through to the front end. I had forgotten what the blend was, but picked up distinct riesling flavor profile. In hindsight this was surprising given that it only makes up 20%. Unfortunately the other grape brought nothing new. That said I would certainly serve this to guests, it's just not unique.

  September 4, 2011 - ecola's note hits this pretty well- tropical fruit, flowers, honey on the nose. Honeyed lemon/lime palate, good acid, medium-bodied and a surprisingly long finish. Good structure, just lacks depth on the palate.

  April 8, 2011 - I didn't find this as acidic as previous notes would suggest. Not bad, but there just didn't seem to be much to it at all.

The strong acid is still there, along with tropical fruits and even coconut. But The oxidation gives it a darker color in the glass, and the palate is lacking. This bottle was drinkable, but I don't think I'll rate it.

  February 25, 2011 - Very pretty aromatics, tropical fruit, white flowers, and honey. A medium body wine with great acidity. Citrus fruit on the palate. Finishes rich with a little touch of honey.
