Pours a medium plus yellow, showing a hint of brown.
Nose is stuck at a 70's swinger's party with Pina coladas; all coconut, pineapple and limes.
Palate opens up with some crushed mint, cotton candy, lime cordial.
This should be good w homemade tandoori style chicken.

This Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon blend offers aromas of orange zest, ripe peach and clove lifted by a lemony note. It’s very rich, but not heavy thanks to its citrussy acidity, with tropical fruit and honeysuckle flavors tweaked by a mineral nuance. The finish is dusty, bracing and persistent. $22.00 (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, November 2018)

Citrus lemon/ lime zest blend, a touch of green apple, melon, pineapple, soft minerals, powdery chalkiness, bright acidity and a round polished finish.

I like the weight and texture of this wine, nice bright white fruits of apricots and peach and lemon accents with a great purity to it.

Semillion and Sav Blanc blend. Very minerality with strong apple and lemon zest tones. Almost clear. Great work!

Good pairing of scallops or lobster would be perfect with this.

Strong floral aromas... honeysuckle and roses, a very lush body with the floral notes coming through on the palate as well.
