  August 25, 2012 - Wonderfully complex nose featuring melon, grass, jalapeno and something that distinctly reminds me of an auto parts store like Autozone. The palate is nice though not quite as bold, with flowers, minerals, and rounded out with a bit of citrus and tropical fruit. Crisp, clean and enjoyable.

  February 14, 2012 - This might sound bizarre, but I really think this wine tastes of asafoetida (a super-pungent South Asian spice). This is the third bottle I’ve drunk, and every time it hits me. To those in the know, that might not sound very pleasant, but actually, it is—like a rich, dry, riesling that completely embodies the (best part of the) essence of the spice at the same time. There’s also some pineapple and some complex ripe fruit notes.This is a fascinating wine.

  December 9, 2011 - This was excellent. A little itter but very good. Nothing like your typical white varietal.
