Community Tasting Note

Friday, May 22, 2020 - Went in not expecting to like this wine given the style, but it was surprisingly tasty. Acidity drives the pear, baked apple, and lemon flavors on the palate that are pretty energetic despite the 14.3% abv.
No butter or leesy texture. The finish has some minerality but a distracting note of oak tannins that don't otherwise overwhelm the fruit. I guess that this needs to age for 2-3 years to show better. Would not pair this with seafood as Ridge suggests, but with simply prepared pork chop, it was nice.
