Community Tasting Notes 10

  January 2, 2013 - Bright straw with lots of petrol on the nose. Clean on the palate with stonefruit, apricot, and mineral flavors, gaining secondary notes of citrus, pear, and quince in the glass. Finishes with a honeyed fruit sweetness. Could use more acidity - the last bottle I had back in January of 2012 had snappy acidity. Will do in a pinch.

  March 31, 2012 - Medium body. Off-dry, easy drinking with a good balance of sugar and alcohol. Medium finish. An enjoyable light drink on a warm day, and an excellent cooking wine. (Also apparently a San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition 2009 Bronze Medal Winner)

  February 22, 2012 - Nice nose of peaches and apricots, flowery boutique.
  Taste: A nice lightly sweet opening with nice fruit and citrus. Nice acid on the mid-palette to balance out the sweetness. Slight bit of minerality, but not overwhelming. Overall a perfect balance of sweet and acid for me.
  Finish: Nice shorter finish to finish it off.

  January 8, 2012 - I didn't care for all the RS, but the real problem is the lack of acid that might give the wine some structure; undrinkable
