Yellow, slightly golden, excellent clarity. Sun-dried linen aroma (though less than in previous vintages). Dried apricot and lemon peel flavors. Tart on initial pour, softens somewhat with decanting. Some calcium or mineral character on finish. Pair with food, like Rosti potatoes and grilled veggies like we did.

Opened about an hour before our Thanksgiving dinner; a preamble of sorts. At these early stages, the 2020 Amador County is like a laser beam of lemon citrus. Yes, there are lemon blossoms and minerals too. The acid is racy and there is a bit of a wooly texture too. Exciting now due to its youthful energy but should be fun for several years to come.
