Lime, peach, cantaloupe, wet rock on the nose. Grapefruit, lime, honeycomb, peach, minerals with medium+ acidity on the palate. Good example of the rich, ripe fruit as well as acidity and freshness this varietal can offer. Great value and super drinkable.

Another great party wine. $11 and floral, ripe fruit, limestone. Fresh as hell. Long finish for a quaffer.
