  9/8/2018 - srh Likes this wine:

  Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 4 *shared* reds] from 09/07/18 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): "Frt sourced from 2 vyds: Our Home Block in the Blind River sub-region of the Awatere Valley, & another select vyd in the Omaka Valley; Once settled, the clear juice was cool fermented in s/sl using an aromatic yeast." 12.5% ABV, 2.2 g/L R.S., 5.9 g/L T.A., & 3.25 pH.
  
  N: Closed; Flowers, minerals
  
  P: Med, poss MF, body; Very RNDISH entry with NICE, almost swtish frt adequately blalanced by acidity which transitions into a LONG, tangy/swt (60:40) finish with OCCASIONAL *glimpses* of honey. For now & through '20, + MIGHT show addt'l improvement through '18. Stylishly done. My VG+/EXC-, with the emphasis certainly on the higher IF one attends to the QPR of this vendor's $13.95, for which I saw no current U.S. comparison. 4.5* & 91 pts from Wine Orbit [a NZ publication?] and Commended @ the '18 Int'l Wine Challenge.
