Community Tasting Notes 5

    June 6, 2013 - Nose has tropical fruit and honey on nose. Medium body on palate, with strong, crisp acidity. Tropical fruit and green apple flavors. Not much oak detectable. This no flabber. Finishes dry, with tart fruit.

    June 5, 2013 - I liked it, but it was one of the lighter wines of this style that I have tried. It had a good taste, but was easily covered up by a mild triple cream brie.

    July 7, 2012 - Pear aroma, dry, nice acidity and good balance, some oak but also on the mineral side, sour tart green apple lingering finish. Enjoying this one by the pool on a scorching hot day.
