Monday, January 25, 2021 - Very pleasant wine. This is a straw yellow color, on the nose a nice mix of pear, red apples, orange citrus, grilled pineapple, and a touch of smoke. On the palate, some crushed rocks, beeswax, saltiness, pear, lemon, and candied pineapple. There is a nice salinity and mineralogy to the mouthfeel that reminds one of a Vouvray (someone at our tasting mentioned Albariño which I guess I could see as well). There is a real refreshing acidity to balance the wine and drive it to a strong finish.
Very pleasant wine and an excellent QPR at 18-20. Another couple years may bring out some more complexity, but it’s drinking super well now.
