This is a delightful white wine. I'm usually not wowed by fruity, floral whites. I like ‘em with salt and savory as the lead players, but this one wins me over. Flowers burst from the nose, but there's and underlying earthiness that grabs me. Peaches and apricots hit the taste buds with a very faint sense of citrus to hold the reins. Nice acidity, nothing to abrasive, but very refreshing. I had mine with a mix of nuts and it was fine. I was able to sip and not think about it too much, which is fine sometimes.

Quarantine Day 20-22
Tropical notes of citrus and pineapple. Light balance. Medium acidity. Better on second/third day after opening!

The best white I’ve ever had. Was amazing paired with a spinach and arugula salad with pears, feta and lemon poppy seed dressing!

Light straw and full of tropical fruit (maybe even a touch more sweetness than your typical PG). Great buy at TJs

Great floral scent and taste. I like white wines on the sweeter side. This is sweet without being too sweet. Great bouquet and a smooth finish.
