Great late summer flavors of ripe pear and citrus, clean finish with solid acidity. Great nose.

Delicious and spot on. Bruised pear, yellow apple, anise, a touch of honey liqueur and above average acidity. Pairs well and cleanses the palate. This can be a very solid go-to house white.

Roero Arneis 2012, 13%. Fruity and fresh, easy to drink, perhaps a little too alcoholic.
