Lightly colored. Expressive nose that could be described as a mix of lemon juice poured over rocks and sea shells, very mineral and fresh. On the palate it is tight, fresh, salty and mineral with crispy green apple over a vigorous acidity. A real summer wine! Very good+ (89)

This wine reminds me of a deep sea adventure. I'm being swept away on boat of flavors and smells like an ocean breeze of ripe apples and currant. Sweet waves of intense flavors crash over my taste buds as I sip away and ponder my life. It's very pleasant on the nose with cinnamon notes and sweet comforting juicy strawberries. — 11 years ago

Medium– acidity, smooth, floral and full. I get strong ripe pear, melon, melon pulp, vanilla bean, lilies, white flowers, oak, apple pie and pannacotta. Smooth on the palate, dry+ with lots of pastry and fruit. Great wine, but I wish for a bit more acidity. — 10 years ago

Perfect right now. More concentrated fruit than the last few years of sea smoke. But really a delicious wine. — 12 years ago
2014. Another reminder that Assyrtiko reminds me of Albariño. Nice weight, fleshy, mild fruit, leesy and intensely sea salty. #PassTheOyster — 10 years ago
Finishing off the night...cheesecake and bourbon. Ocean is definitely a wee bit briny but has all the savory caramel and vanilla notes of its Presidential brethren, smooth and rich comported. And not so loaded with the alky...so I may have another — 11 years ago
Smoky, Spicy and Earthy. Rich and Creamy with plenty of fruit mostly black cherry and blackberry. Lighter notes of vanilla from the barrel program but in wine in good balance. Nice hold and great paring with the Tuna Tartare dish. — 11 years ago
