Super acidic, and almost effervescent. Crisp, and fruity with green apple and peach flavors. From WSJ Wines. Interesting that my rating gets worse every time I have this …. Tasted 17 July 2022

Same bottle as rated one week ago, so a bit old now …. Definitely apricot is the primary flavor, along with some lemon and oak. Light, but not really “crisp”. Tasted 6 June 2022

Crisp, full flavor. Complex blend of fruit and oak, so interesting with a nice bite. From WSJ Wines. Tasted 30 May 2022

Fresh and crisp - would be an excellent summer wine, maybe a spritzer.

Nelson sav like their Chardonnay has brighter fruit but perhaps less mineral notes less (cats wee) asparagus notes but all drink well
