Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 11, 2013 - Yellow plum, crystallized lemon and dried pineapple nose with some aniseed, almondy richness and a touch of butterscotch.
Dry and medium bodied palate with balanced acidity and oily richness to the ripe fruit of mid-level concentration. There's definitely intensity in this wine, but it's intensity of tactile presence; this wine is as much felt as it is tasted. Like good Verdicchio or Rhône whites.
I really like this style. Excellent with rustic white meat dishes.
