Grapefruit pith, unripe peach, upripe honeydew melon, and chalky minerality with a lot of acidity. Great value.

Soft and elegant. Feels even lighter than it is at 12.5% abv. Haven’t had a Pouilly-Fumé in a while, but this reminds me why I love Loire whites. I also get an early afternoon taste, since my ropa vieja slow cooker calls for white wine...

Very good with a veggie-heavy meal. Lots of fruit; I personally prefer slightly less honey and more earthiness than I got, but make no mistakes — this wine was delicious

Decanting for 30 minutes makes all the difference. “The palate is pretty voluptuous delivering ripe tropical fruit notes and a ...long finish. “ - Ian Cauble

Citrus with a mineral taste. I found it a bit sour through my palate. Not for me.

Delicious, mix of fruit and a grassy, herbal note. Very mineral on the palate. Get quality for the price 😀

2011 quoting Ian Cauble who nails the description: "The palate is medium plus in body with luscious notes of tropical fruit, unripe yellow apples, grapefruit zest, and a slight flinty and smoky minerality driving the long finish.
