Chateau Montelena Tasting (Calistoga CA) : At winery. Lemon and lemongrass with freshly cut grass. Bright and well balanced . Good summer wine for now.

Fresh fennel, lemon peel, ripe melon, passion fruit, stone and green poblano pepper on the nose. Medium + intensity of aromas. Apple, lemon, stone and anise on the palate. Medium + intensity of flavors. Finishes with a burst of melon. Medium body with high acid. Just a balanced and fun Napa SB that's both varietally correct and delicious. Perfect for daytime drinking. Meant to drink now, upon release.

Nine & Wine (EBCC) : A taste courtesy of J&L. Pale color. Notes of gooseberry, dried pineapple and even banana. Nice citrusy fruit on the palate with balanced acidity. Lively and crisp.
