  Light straw core. Aromas of lime zest, peach and white flowers. Lots of (too much) spritzig in the glass - to the point that it was distracting. Nervous acids and rather linear fruit profile. Pretty good with a fennel risotto, but overall it showed average at best (which still puts it ahead of about 80% of domestic whites). 11,5% abv, approx $14, drink now.

  Light yellow. Nose of flowers and pear with a soapy quality I didn't care for. Nice ripe palate of pear and apple with tangy acidity. OK length. Decent white wine. I liked earlier vintages better. Addendum: on the second day, there was no soapy nose or taste. Maybe it was the stemware. On day 2, the wine was more simple and bland, however. Probably not fair to score the wine under the circumstances.

  Pop n pour consumed over 2 nights. Straw toward pale in the glass with a nose of banana, flint and some mown hay in the background. Nothing terribly complex here, folks, and only so-so as a food wine. Light + bodied, this lacks any real sense of place or varietal. A bit disappointed with this vintage, but will definitely try again when the '08's hit street. Approx $19.

  A bit bracing on the nose, and grassy. On the palate, powdery mineral with racy acidity...and a greenness like peapods.
  
  Going back, it shows a little melon.
  
  Richard says it's in a leaner, more mineral style and one of the best food wines.
