Pale lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruits and toasty notes. On the palate flavors of ripe peach and melon with notes of citrus and cedar. Medium+ finish, lively acidity ending with fruit and mineral character. Just Ok!

Drank 3/15/21. Paired with Chicken Picatta.

Subtle scents of lemon candy, and orchard fruit. Flavors also quite mild, with green apple, and a bit of citrus. Clean with a quicker finish. Overall a good food wine, but would recommend a higher acidity wine for this dish.

2/20/6/4/2 +50 = 84 pts.

Crisp pear nose, light oak vanilla taste. Had with mustard crusted salmon. Yum.

Tangy but delectable. Perfect amount of sweetness for those not a fan of the sugary options.

Surprisingly good given some of the other ratings. Mineral notes with flavors of citrus and some mild oakiness.
