  Nice full flavor, a touch of lemon on the pallette. Decent pairing with pork and sauerkraut.

  Would prefer a year younger, a little malolactic at this age. Still yummy.

  Re-tasting some VA Governor's Cup wines: Pretty aromatics of apricots, peaches, limes, with floral and honey elements. Crisp acidity, lovely texture, but the vibrancy is really nice. Apricots, limes, peaches, papaya, topped in floral perfume, chalk dust, lemon verbena. Love the zestiness and precision of this vintage.

  Virginia Governor's Cup Wines: Pale yellow color. Aromas of white peaches, lime, pineapple, there’s a bright mix of white and yellow flowers with notes of honeycomb and raw almond. Complex textural depth, plush texture but the acidity is crisp, and the balance is lovely. Tart lemon and lime, drizzled on papaya and white peaches, the fruit is laced with notes of chalk dust, white flowers, crushed shells, spiced floral tea. Delicious, just a bit more for me than the 2015, but they’re both excellent. Includes 8% Petit Manseng and 2% Chardonnay.
