Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 1, 2010 - I put the nose to the glass and am reminded of Chablis: MInerals and wet stone, chalk, sea weed, but then there are also hints of citrus and apple and some tropical fruits. It's deeper that I might have expected. The palate, on the contrary, make me think more in the direction of dry Riesling, with an intense acid that tickles the glands and really makes them salivate. Just as I like it. But when the drops are swallowed, and you wait for the mineral finish of a dry Riesling, what blends in with the acids and lingers on in a long finish is a lovely peach element. So, it's something inbetween Chablis and Riesling, but it is neither - because it is Alvarinho!
