Grabbed this from K&L for $18. Definitely a nice wine, however, not as interesting as the Regis Minet that we had from Kermit Lynch. Not only was the Minet a couple dollars cheaper, but it was more complex and interesting to drink. This wine is still quite good--it's squeaky clean and precise. Lots of jalapeno (or if you want to go the cliche route, goosberry) and melon on the nose. A significant amount of acidity, leads to grapefruit and stone and a nice finish. Excellent balance between acidity and fruit. This went very well with halibut (topped with parsley, lemon and olive oil and seared in a cast iron skillet), some roasted carrots, and some roasted fingerlings. This is a delicious wine, but it clearly is not as good drinking wise or price wise as the Minet. B/B+
