Community Tasting Note

Saturday, May 15, 2010 - The last time I opened a bottle of this wine, it was a true disappointment. Either it suffered from severe bottle variation (which I’ve not encountered with this wine previously) or it was slightly corked. It showed none of the distinct Ruby Red Grapefruit for which this is known. Yeah, it had minerality, but not much else. So, I opened this one with some trepidation.

This a pale golden rimed wine with an almost clear core. A swirl and then a “little sniffy sniff ... and there it is: Ruby Red Grapefruit. Jeez, this a welcome delight. So clean, fresh and vibrant. Excellent minerality with wet limestone. A touch of smoke on the finish. I love this wine. 11.5% alc. With seared scallops in a lime beurre blanc sauce. Highly Recommended.
