Community Tasting Notes 8

  January 14, 2014 - Notes of kumquat, kiwi and a touch of petrol on the nose. The palate features notes of kumquat, kiwi and a hint of apricot. Interesting wine, dry overall, probably at its peak now... good complexity and certainly interesting to try.

  October 18, 2013 - Immediate aromas of honeysuckle, peach and passion fruit. Exotic notes of melon, pineapple, white peach somehow mingle with zesty citrus flavors. An overwhelmingly delicious experience from Randall Grahm's Biodynamic vineyard. Get it while it's at this unbelievable deal!

  August 5, 2012 - Tasted 2nd time since 2010 and has held up well perhaps more intense than two years ago. Nice yellow color. Beautiful floral perfumed nose with white melon and orange blossom which echoes on the palate along with grapefruit pith, lemon zest, and very faint bread crust. Mouthwatering acidity and impressive minerality. The mouthfeel is luxurious smooth and rich. The sweetness is off dry and balanced. Finish is of lemon oil and bitter lemon. Muscat can be amazingly complex and I would drink this wine just for the aroma but it has so much more. Alas I hear that this vineyard in Soledad is no more.
