Tasting Note:February 08, 2017

Pale golden yellow. Love the nose on this wine. A little hay but lots of stone, citrus and white fruits on the nose with aged layers. Great liveliness and acidity (7/10). Solid body. Lovely freshness with lemon and lime notes. Great minerality in the long and lingering finish. Easy to drink but tons of aging potential.
