bright and crisp, with excellent fizz. green melons and citrus. the fruit is a bit under-ripe, however, and the finish is sour. Could have used an extra week of hang time.

A nose that's so delicate it's almost fragile, and it's possible to miss the fact that there is real character and interest in there. The nose has slender and wispy saline and creamy aromas, quite narrow in focus, but also deep and reflective of old vine intensity. The palate follows the nose - its not about variety and broadness of flavor, but rather focus, depth, and intensity of the creamy saline flavors. Lovely wine. Probably more compelling to those who already are fans of this wine than to people drinking it for the first time this vintage.

Low alcohol, refreshing acidity, slight fizz: a truly gulpable drink. Great choice with steamed blue crabs. A gulp of this cleanses the old bay right from the palate!

Almost clear in the glass. A faint yellow. Ripping acid and lime, almost like a dry margarita. So refreshing and crisp. Minerals and ripe citrus fruit. Tangy. Really edgy and dry. I like it.

JonathanNYC is spot on. Minerals, acid, lime, and more acid. If you want to teach someone what acid in wine tastes like--give them this. Super great on a really hot day. Somewhat simplistic but super delicious.

Spritzy, minerally limeade. Delicious summer stuff (although you could drink this anywhere, anytime, even in the shower). A bit less mineral and more lime than the 2010 tasted a month ago. Dying to try this with fried seafood (calamari, maybe soft shell crab).

According to CT, I drank this 2 years too late. But delicious, and a bit complex.

Monthly Tasting Group: Spain and Portugal (Rincon 38, Mpls, MN): Pale gold with a spritz. Drank 1 glass over 30 minutes. Light body , citrus, mineral, lime. Pleasant, a little short on the finish.

Not too much on the nose, slightly floral, perhaps some melon. Crisp, refreshing and acidic with flavors of minerals, lemon, and apple.

Still going strong. Light fizz, good acidity, lime and brine. According to my wife, this is what a wine "cooler" should taste like
