Full bodied white with complex dry citrusy flavors. Can hold up to foods with a lot of flavor.

Really nice, buttery but not rancid, good fruit. I'd get it again, it was like $11 in Idaho, super one foods.

Citrusy nose.
Lemon zest with a full oaky, buttery finish. No hint of melon that I can tell.
Creamy mouthfeel.

Excellent for the price. Goes well in and with risotto.
