This wine was crisp and elegant. Better than a Sauvignon Blanc. A great sipper and good with light fare. The wine looks blonde colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like honeysuckle. The body is medium. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

Supplement to my TN of Nov 2: Drank over two nights, starting with a glass as carry-in at a local seafood restaurant. Round and rich, perhaps a bit off dry. Held up well for the second night, no sign of decline even as a '15. Still excellent value.

Bought 2b for 3.20/b during Grocery Outlet 20% off sale earlier this month. Pale gold, fragrant (some honey and honeysuckle), very good mouthfeel. Initial concern about age was unfounded: thoroughly enjoyed for 3+ days, never became unpleasant, surprisingly durable. Stored vertically (screwcap) in a closet since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

It was delicious. Exactly as the reviewer from January 2019 said. Crisp, acidic, fruity, but not sweet. Floral aroma. I want more.

Pleasant surprise. Balanced fruit, long lingering flavors.
