Winery pour. Lemony notes included Lemon Pledge, including the wax. Very very pleasant, but seemed simple. Didn't find the body or complexity needed to fork over $40 for it.

Zoom Tasting with Sam Bilbro, Winemaker/Proprietor Idlewild Wines: Deep yellow in color, with a bit of sediment. Not a strong aroma at all. Hints of lemon is about it. But the flavor and texture is full. More lemon, and slight honey, but with a thick texture that coats your mouth. Great acidity. Tasted with Sam the winemaker over zoom. Really enjoyable now, and reminded me of the Italian whites I drank in Cinque Terre long ago when I knew absolutely nothing about wine. We drank this with lemon garlic shrimp and buttternut squash risotto, and the texture really held up to both.
