Oct 1st, 2017Big white. High in just about everything... acidity, weight, mouthfeel. Slight corn oil thing going on, with lemon and honey. No heat, but the richness needs some food. Melted cheese and bread from same region would do quite nice

Weirdo corn/honey notes, with decent body and some lees like richness.

Jul 22nd, 2015Honey, subtle apricot, lemon, dried herbs, and melon with pepper on the nose. Great acidity, minerality/chalk, lemon/lime, white peach and star fruit on the palate. Cool wine. Reminiscent of a Sauvignon blanc and melon De Bourgogne.

Aug 13th, 2017Awesome aromas of tangerine, grapefruit lemon and melon with a tinge of spice. A little oak on the palate but smooth with a bit of a lingering Chardonnay taste. Good bottle, I think it's very good for the price point.
