Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 2, 2011 - Everything good about white grapefruit can be found in this bottle just now: white grapefruit juice ripe with pulp, zest of white grapefruit, and even the color of white grapefruit. I’d been watching this in a local wine store, sitting there on its side for the past year or more. Finally, I asked the owner how badly he wanted to sell it. “How badly do you want to buy it?” he asked. “Not [that price] badly,” I replied. He knocked $25 off and we were both happy. Yeah, the wine is past peak, but not a lot. No hint of oxidation either. We limestone and smoke fill out the palate. The mouthfeel is sharp with acid. No hint of the ruby red grapefruit that earlier consumed bottles have. But that’s ok. The white grapefruit will do just fine for now. 11.5% alc. With grilled chicken. Recommended, but leaning to Highly Recommended.
