Apple, lemon, slate and hints of grapefruit & butterscotch. Good acidity and minerality.

Nothing special about this wine. No complexity, and very peppery. Drinkable, and i could see it going well with spaghetti, but I wouldn't go out of my way to drink it on its own.

Easy to drink. Not too sweet. Not too acidic. Good body.

At first opening this could have been mistaken for any old blah Italian Pinot Grigio. But with some time to open up you start to get more pear, nectarine, peach and green apple. You still get a solid note of minerality that makes me think Italy, along with white flowers. If not spectacular it's certainly a decent buy at around $10, especially if you're looking to break away from the same old white grape.

Mellow peach, apricots, honeysuckle on the back end. Okay acidity. Goes great with mild cheese and white fish
