Remarkably more character when cold. Starts with pear and green apple, hints of grapefruit, lemongrass, bell pepper, grass, asparagus. A little swirl revealed jalapeno on the palate, not the nose. A familiar flavor that resonated, but was somehow hard to pinpoint - ended up being soft, creamy cheese. This wine would end up being a good pairing with jalapeno cream cheese something...

Loved the oak on this dazzling white - at 15-17$ it's a summer steal

Nice and dry. Not too sweet. Went well with my grilled salmon.

This wine exceeded expectations. Though the restaurant could have served it much colder (their food was excellent BTW).
