Extending from prior notes, the character observed by other tasters remains identifiable but rather subdued and I'm wondering if this wine may have aged in an environment that was too warm in the hands of the distributor/retailer. The finish is rather "oaky," like some chardonnays, which is not to my taste but appreciated by many.

Golden color. Fragrant nose with floral, mineral, and faint hints of earthy aromas. Focused and intense mineral flavor on the pleasantly dry palate with loads of honey and hints of fresh orchard fruits and a bit of wood. Excellent, crisp acidity and a balanced finish of moderate length. 90 pts.

Delicious especially as it warmed just a little. This had zingy acidity, predominantly apple fruit, super fine grained spice and a persistent, nuanced finish. Excellent.

Terry Theise Tasting at McCarthy & Schiering (Seattle, WA): Wow, killer nose, pop, which whacks you in the face with pepper, shoe polish. Straightforward, nice cut, clean, direct and fresh.
