Mar 13th, 2017My first taste of the 2014 vintage. Straw gold in the glass. Dried pome and an almost Chenin-like hay on the nose. Medium plus acidity leads a surprisingly full mouthfeel and palate of baked quince and hay grass. Longish finish for this appellation (that'd be medium, generally). Not a complicated wine, but more complex than one would expect. I like this vintage.

Mar 29th, 2016Pale straw with minor rim variation. Orange, grass, and white spice on the nose. On the palate, satsuma, honeysuckle, fresh hay. Medium light body. Almost watery acidity. Not much of a finish. Very food friendly, though.
