This wine has almost no coloring. Its nose is more herb-driven than mineral-driven, but there is a touch of wet sidewalk in the aromas. The palate is dry and rather flat, with only a hint of acidity. As with the smells, the flavors lean into the herbal side of the spectrum with enough minerals to make it a decent pair with shellfish. It is a pleasant enough wine, and for $7 I will not complain beyond this paragraph. I will, however, keep it in mind for when I need a dry white wine for cooking.

Pale warm straw color. Smells like sweet flowers. Tastes like a muted Sauvignon blanc; it’s not unpleasant but it is underwhelming.

Pretty average light white, I was expecting more sweaty taste from it. It goes more.or less fine alone and with white fish. I would look to Pinot Grigio for similar experience

Quite nice for the price. Not complex but balanced. No off tastes. Tasty. Good with sardine pasta. $8 at Trader Joe’s.
