This was a pretty straightforward GV, unsurprisingly, I guess. A little roundness with kind of thick fruit, due to the warm vintage, I suppose. But certainly still a very refreshing drink. Not sure I see much reason to hold this this long though.

Medium nose of crisp apple, pepper and herbs. Palate has medium bodied fruit, modest sweetness and a nice underlying wave of acidity. Sweet and savory. Easy to drink.

Delicious gruner loaded with minerals and peppery white/yellow fruit. Another big and beautiful 2006, this is drinking very well right now and is not at all hot or blowsy. A lot of wine for the price, just great stuff.

Can't go wrong here -served with Phillipino dish of Abodo chicken and it held very nice vs the vinegar base of the sauce. A little bottle time has caused this wine to round up a little around the edges and the delicate aromatics are still here in abundance. Not complex but very pleasing substance. This may turn out to be even better than I originally thought -certainly an easy go to bottle.

Stony minerality to an excess - no personality and one-dimensional - but might be interested in trying their higher end stuff.
