Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "Light straw with hints of green. Herbaceous notes of freshly cut grass along with lifted pineapple, melon, passion fruit, and hints of grapefruit. Fresh and crisp with zesty flavors of ripe tropical fruits, especially passion fruit and pineapple. The wine has flinty minerality, juicy acidity, and a generous finish.
Enjoyable on its own as an aperitif or with lemon herb chicken, summer salads, or lighter seafood dishes."
Tasting Panel - "Smooth and juicy with tangy, bracing acidity and silky fresh peach and spice; lively, bright and pure; long and luscious."
My impressions: Fruit on the nose... Sour apple... Kiwi... Grapefruit. A little more residual sugar than expected. Mid-palette tangy, kiwi and grapefruit continue through the finish. Quite good for $12.49.
