  My observations are consistent with those made here earlier in May. Served a bit cooler this time, as a cocktail wine with a variety of pre-dinner hor d'oeurves- hard and soft cheeses, hummus, edamame, fresh veggies, and crackers. The quality of this wine is best appreciated with food.

  Lemon grass on the nose, lemon, honeysuckle and mineral notes, with citrus-like finish. Good acidity, matched well with spicy basil and coconut curry shrimp Thai dishes. Served at about 60F, will try a cooler temp on the next bottle.

  Not my style - has a sparkling component to it. Almost fizzy.

  Really?! Not one note for this fantastic sauv blanc? Beautiful honeysuckle and bluebonnet florals with a light toasted almond with twist of citrus at the end. When popped the cork there was some fizz, fizz just made it more lively until the wine would oxidize a little and the acids sing. The fruit wasn't that abundant at first but eventually a wonderful lemon presence embodying the essence of summer appeared. This was a great pairing with spicy Asian chicken.
