Community Tasting Notes 8

  June 2, 2009 - Nose: Very aromatic. Awesome melons and berries which trend toward vegetal. Flavor: This is alot more alive than the last bottle that I had. Elegant with great side-tongue sourness and creaminess down the center of the tongue. Finish is less than you'd expect based on the palate. This is very nice though.

  February 18, 2009 - Nose: Though still a nice, aromatic nose, this one feels like it might be losing a step. Lime and something dry and creamy like marzipan. Flavor: Soft acidity and a medium-light flavor profile dominated by lemon and the dry creaminess. Not as much structure as the more recent bottle that I had at Grgich. Finish is nice and is bigger than the main body.
  
  Day 2. Nose is alive with lemon and lime. Flavor: Balanced acidity, round and soft on the tongue. Flavor profile of a well made lemon-lime pastry. Finish is good.

  September 24, 2006 - Big for a sauvignon blanc. Surprisingly complex and interesting. Very refreshing. A lovely way to start a dinner party.

  September 23, 2006 - Dry and fresh, with some slight sweetness. Refreshing, and pure, very little steel. Clean finish. Very, very enjoyable, and set the stage for the beginning of a great night of wine, food and friends. Thanks James & Juli.
