Pale straw color. Very restrained nose, slight lemon zest and maybe some clay. Crisp, clean acid, pure on palate. Some residual sugar is detected, maybe 7 g/L – adds softness and nice balance. Sarah detects alcohol on finish. Palate reminiscent of TRW ’06 Delta Riesling in terms of acidity/residual sugar, alcohol balance, but no relation between them on the nose. Paired with Rob’s guacamole and Sarah’s Famous Flatbread, with a green salad with radishes and red pepper, and a cheese plate (Reblochon and Crottin de Chavignol) for dessert.
