No point-rating as this was already past its prime. Very fresh nose of lemon lime spritz, crushed rocks and sea-spray. Nearly medium-bodied, the fruit has begun its decline (perhaps it was improper storage, I have no idea of the provenance). I'll pick some up of the '09 once I see it on the shelves or at a trade tasting.

Lime, melon and mineral notes on the nose. Nice crispness and acidity on the palate with more lime, grass and a touch of peach. Quite dry with stony mineral elements on the finish. Fairly low alcohol content (12%) makes this a good match with food--would work quite well with shellfish.

Very lemony & minerally, whatever that means. Light-bodied, not too alcoholic. Good acidity, good finish.

Pleasantly surprised by the "effervescence". Not quite a sparkling wine, but felt almost like a wine cooler. Definite citrus flavors.
