Color/App: light/pale yellow with a reasonable amount of medium-long legs. Lemon/lime zest bouquet quite intense! Palate shows lemon/lime and kiwi along with a chalky minerality and salinity others have noted for this wine; think "Chablis-lite." I'd like a little more midpalate and a longer finish, truth be told. This is significantly younger than most of the other notes here on CT for this wine so I'm thinking it has room to grow into something better (?). I guess I'll stick with my Chalone (Pinot Blanc) for my Melon fix . . . .
