  CT Seattle Offline II (Amaroso Room @ Bellevue Wine Storage): Very light and refreshing on the palate, can taste the lemon, almost a touch of residual sugar at the end. There's a bit of structure though that holds the wine together. This was our third favorite wine of the white wine flight (although it was pretty close) and is one of the rare ones where the group aligned (also 3 out of 6).

  Mindmuse's notes are spot on with this wine, I highly recommend the Sauv Blanc glasses. Beautiful floral nose with spritz of lemon zest and lemon grass. The palate was crisp and loads of citrus flavors. As the wine warms the rousanne helps lift the grenache blanc and provides more body to the structure. Once the rousanne comes forward I started getting some tangerine flavors. A really beautiful wine, I liked it best chilled.

  Brilliant stuff! I've never had anything I didn't like from Boushey Vyd, whatever the grape, but this is the first from this producer, and Wow!
  
  It's actually unusual enough to be hard to describe. Brilliant golden. Riveting floral and fruit aromas infuse my whole head as if the wine was inside my skull. Melons, dried apples, white peach, kiwi, white and yellow florals, hay fields, big mineral underpinning, an Italian amaro bite. Broad, palate covering creamy lees type texture that embeds itself and persists so long it is distracting.
  
  I actually had this from three quite different glasses. It was wonderful in all of them (that's quite uncommon) and displayed different aromatic and textural qualities in each. Mostly I drank from a smaller Sauvignon Blanc glass where I thought it was most stunningly complete. I have one more of the 2011 and will certainly get some 2012. Definitely a producer to check out further.

  No formal notes. Very nice Grenache Blanc. Decent QPR. Look forward to other bottle.
