Community Tasting Note

TannicBeast Likes this wine:

Wednesday, October 10, 2018 - Tasted blind. Clear, bright, pale straw with a green hue. The nose is clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of ripe lemon, sweet herbs, unripe tropical fruit, barely ripe stone fruit, wet stone. The nose is youthful, with no perceptible oak. The palate is dry, with medium (+) to high acid, medium alcohol (13%). Medium body, medium (+) flavor intensity and medium (+) length. The finish reveals a slight salty note and phenolic bitterness. This has a classic Old World, cool climate profile. It is fairly aromatic un-oaked, with no malolactic, which narrows things down. The bitterness is a key marker, which further narrows things down. Missing are the pepper and vegetal notes of a Gruner Veltliner, the coppery hue and leesy aromas of a Pinot Grigio or the richness and heft of a Viognier. Overall, very good quality and QPR. Drink now, not intended for aging.
