Splendid nose of apricot and almonds. Nice, but a little paler and milder than other whites of theirs. Pretty little wine, with hints of lemon. A nice, drinkable wine, but disappointed it's not more fully flavored. We rated this a year ago and it was marvy, but perhaps I misidentified the year. That was an amazing wine. Perhaps I'd had too many sips before noting the year?

Solid white blend - especially considering the price. Great fruits and so easy to drink!

Grilled pineapple, petroleum, lemon, and apricot nose. Quite complex. Wow, so much going on with this one. All of the above are also noted in the tasting, with a smooth mouth feel. Nice and clean with a long finish.
