Prime Brume Garganega 2014


Name: Prime Brume
Variety: Garganega
Region: Soave
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $11, on sale for $6.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: 91- Tastings.com "Pale color. Fruity, floral minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice poached pear, and papaya with a lean, racy, bone-dry medium body and a smooth, complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no tannins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus and minerality thru to the long, crisp finish, this soave can seamlessly go from cocktail hour thru to vibrantly flavored dishes."

My impressions: Nothing on the nose; it might as well be water.  Oh wait, there is something; nope, gone again.  Either my nose is acting up, or this wine is not aromatic at all.  Very nice taste; mineral, a hint of banana and other fruit.  Very nice, especially at this price point.
