Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

90 Points

Sunday, June 27, 2021 - Medium gold color
Medium plus aromas of peach/ pear and faint spice - possible oak
The palate is fairly explosive - with ripe peach/pear with good acidity - the most striking aspect of this wine IMO is the high phenolic bitterness - either the variety or skin contact or both? - this really gives this wine alot of character and a great length
A sturdy white wine that prob wont appeal to everyone but is probably one of my favorite VA whites
