Green crisp Granny Smith, fresh lemon, cilantro, grass, glycerol, crushed wet stone on the palate. Fresh and zippy. Med+ finish. Intense and concentrated. Slightly tannic. Bone dry.

Sweeter than expected, without enough brightness to make it an ideal pairing wine. Vanilla, Meyer lemon, green banana.

Strangely overly oxidized. Would expect a wine of this caliber to be still holding up but felt like this was losing structure. Nutty and salty.
