Community Tasting Note

PDX-S Likes this wine:

Sunday, July 7, 2013 - A lean, mean, racy machine. A clear, mostly translucent, wine of pale straw and light green highlights. Pronounced nose of tart grapefruit, unripe mango, wet river rocks, and the slightest hint of sweet grass. Smooth and soft, the slightly sweet and tart liquid is light to medium bodied and reveals a palate of grapefruit pulp, mineral notes, mingled with light and dry peach notes, with a crisp and lemony finish.

High acid comes across beautifully in this well made, refreshing and brisk wine that packs a surprising amount of interest and flavor on such a lean frame. Drinkable and delicious now, and likely for a number of years yet.
Fruit comes from the Boushey Vineyard in Yakima Valley. 34% Marsanne, 33% Picpoul, 33% Grenache Blanc, 13.5% alcohol.
