Helioterra
Willamette Valley Melon de Bourgogne
Retasting 14 months later. Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Veggie, floral and pineapple notes in nose. Preserved lemon flavor, green apricot with light skin astringency in finish. Tart enough to be a good food wine. Its fruit flavors have changed since the previous tasting. Veggie note emerging in nose is slightly sulfury, not quite broccoli-like, but not a positive here.
