Another winner from Knoll in the excellent 2021 vintage. Silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose has asparagus, and white pepper. Light tannins. On the palate, this has concentrated lime notes. A bit of asparagus on the finish. Long. Deep. Well balanced. This would go well with lighter foods or even a not too spicy Chinese pork dish. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
Light silvery gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is great with slight limes, asparagus and a slight white pepper. Medium bodied. On the palate, lemon/lime notes. Good acidity. Some minerality. Deep. Long finish. This is light on its feet but serious enough to stand up to moderately heavy foods. It would be nice with fish tacos. Drink over the next seven to ten years.
Green gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is nice with limes and white pepper. Medium bodied. Good acidity. Depth. On the palate, limes and some minerality. Dry. Long finish. Very similar to the Steinfeder version just more of everything. This is great on its own and will work well with most lighter foods. Thai food would be a nice match. Drink over the next three to five years.
This had just been bottled when I tasted it at the winery. It should be even better with just a bit of bottle age. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is more about minerality than fruit though there is a slight note of lime. What a great, slightly oily texture. Rich yet crisp. On the palate, it is still more about minerality although the limes come thru a bit more. Complex. Long finish. Delicious. This will improve with a year or so of patience. Drink over the next ten years. This would go great with breaded and fried foods (chicken or pork)!
This was my favorite of the 2021 GV's tasted at the winery. Green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is full of minerals with a bit of "slate" notes. Slightly oily texture. Medium to full bodied. Light but present tannins. On the palate, limes, minerals and wet rock notes. Good acidity. Plenty of depth and complexity. Long finish. Delicious. This had just been bottled, so will likely improve over the next couple of years. This should drink well for ten to twelve years. This would work quite well with a Thai green curry dish.
Yellow/green in color, clear and bright. The nose has limes, herbs, and white pepper. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this seems to have slight residual sugar. Lime with fresh herbs. This is refreshing and quite tasty. Nice finish. This drinks well on its own and would work well with foods that have a slight amount of spice/heat such as Szechwan. Drink over the next five to seven years.
