Lodi Assyrtiko
Lodi, Central Valley, California, USA
Popped in poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Delicious throughout but better on Day 2, at least to my palate. The 2024 pours a pale straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with pretty notes of tart, tropical fruit: pineapple, starfruit, white flowers, lychee, lemon and dazzling minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+ with palpable texture. Another lovely and delicious edition of this wine, which is quickly becoming a perennial favorite for me. Drink now through 2034. One single 1000L oval and one single 500L barrel produced.
