Goodfellow Family Cellars Blanc Whistling Ridge Vineyard

Consistent with previous notes. Citrus, apple, floral notes, crushed stone. Bright and fresh with racy acidity. Love where this is right now, but not sure this will hold up as long as some other vintages (I had a 2015 recently that was still going strong). But there's still a lot to like here. One bottle left and while it might not make the 10 year mark, this still has a good 2-3 years ahead of it.

PnP. Lemon citrus, apple, peach, florals, crushed stone. Medium body, medium+ acidity, long finish. Still fresh and bright, but it does seem to maturing a bit faster than some other vintages. But on a 100 degree day and with a sub-$20 price, there's a ton to like here.

Day 2: light yellow color. Nose shows golden and minerals with peach pit, apple skins, slate and stones with a significant salty note. This has matured quickly and lost most of its youthful exuberance that I loved so much. Palate shows that pretty combination of the peach pits with some apple skin and lots of stony minerality that carry into the finish - lots of apple skin and minerals on the finish but it’s a little diffuse and bitter. I’ll …

Fantastic stuff. Deep and rich, lots of acidity, and the Pinot Noir component adds some red fruit. Great now and should age very nicely a few years.

No formal notes. Shows riesling character with really fresh tart lemon-lime, mineral, apple, floral notes. Weightless and elevated acidity, dry. Great accompaniment for homemade avgolemono soup. Good from pop and pour but maybe fleshing out with air and as it warms up. No rush but doesn't need to be held.

This was really fun. Complex and delicious (not to mention a great value). Starts off crisp with some tropical fruit, finishes a bit fuller with perhaps a touch of sweetness. Great with Christmas chicken picatta and cacio e pepe.

Got my Fall Goodfellow shipment yesterday and had to crack one of these today. This is just lovely. For me the nose is the best - potent and mouth-watering aromas of peach, red and green apple, a little banana and tropicals, brown and baking spices, lime, minerals. The palate shows more tart with lime and minerals and spices up front - very juicy and also somewhat steely. The other fruits are more in the background. I tend to like wines …

Blend of various fruits as noted in other tasting notes. Love citrus fruits. What stood out to me about this wine was just how refreshing it was. This is a wine of excellent value.

Blend of 54% riesling, 20% pinot noir, 20% pinot blanc, and 6% gewuztraminer. Lots of peach/apricot stone fruit, ripe pear, citrus, and some floral notes. Nice minerality. Medium-light body, medium acidity. Finish has bright fruit and crispness. This always drinks well young, but also ages well and I actually prefer them with a few years of bottle age since they seem to put on additional weight. Based on previous vintages, it should go for 6-8 years from the vintage and …
