Pale white in color, excellent clarity. Aromas of white flowers and orchard fruit. Dryish, round mouthfeel, orchard fruit flavors, some skin astringency on finish. Could be crisper. Solid exemplar of the variety, PNW should grow more of this.

I don't really enjoy this varietal all that much but this is a good new world capture if it.
