Wine Spectator completely missed it on this wine. I agree with their rating (90) but their tasting notes are off. I always taste and review a wine first and then later go look to see what other reviews have to say. The Spectator said this wine has green pineapple and tobacco flavors. I wonder if they even tasted this wine. After reading the Spectator review I went right to the vineyards website and felt validated. Their notes are identical to mine.
On the nose of this wine I picked up a little lemon and heavy herbs. It almost seems like there was a little too much herb aroma. The taste however isn’t an exact match for the smell. On the taste I got a lime and lemon taste that was dulled by the creamy structure. This wine is very classy and has perfectly balanced. It would be the perfect compliment to any chicken dinner. You won’t be disappointed, I will be buying this again.
