Tasting Notes

87-89
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Sep 16
Bright, pale lemon-green. White peach, citrus zest and spices on the restrained, slightly austere nose. Juicy, minty and tight, offering modest flesh and revealing a slight dry edge. A distinctly cool style of 2015, perhaps due to fruit harvested too early. Colin noted that he's still trying to get used to this vineyard, which he only started working with in 2013.
