Shane’s Notes

It is light yellow in color, and the aroma is minerally and yeasty. This was a truly amazing wine – we have never encountered a wine quite like it and were fumbling around for apt flavor descriptors. Initially, we detected a subtle, sweet lemon flavor. As the wine warmed a little, tropical fruit flavors like banana crème pie and mango just exploded on the palate. It was medium-bodied, creamy in the middle, tangy, very sweet and very acidic with a solid, mineral underpinning. It displayed moderate complexity and had a very long finish. This was a stunning wine.
