Shane’s Notes

The aromas include citrus and mown hay. The initial palate entry is a bit spritzy and the palate shows lemon lime (more lemon than lime) with some green bean and a metallic finish. There is also a hint of creaminess mid palate. We both enjoyed this but we think the bottle was flawed. The spritziness combined with the softened mid-palate acidity has us thinking the wine was undergoing malolactic fermentation in the bottle. So, we will withhold judgment on this one.
