Pale yellow color, weak aroma that shows some age: wet rock, ripe cantelope, lemon. Dry, light bodied with acidity bordering on tart. Flavors are citrus-forward, lemon/lime with notes of honey or apricot. Medium finish. Overall well balanced, but lacking in complexity - suspect it may be passing its prime.
Pale yellow color with tinge of green. Moderate + aroma intensity, pear, hay, passion fruit, and some nice minerality. Off-dry, medium bodied with lively acidity. Flavors of dried apricot, grass, and grapefruit, and medium finish. Good quality, well balanced, and nice complexity. Overall a good value.

Pale yellow in color, little bit of fizz in the glass. Weak aroma, light pear, lemon, and green apple. Off-dry with medium body, and acidity bordering on flabby. Green - grass like flavor, ripe apple, guava - evolves on the palette into a zesty, pepper flavor. Fairly long finish.
Thin, yellow color bordering on green. Weak aroma intensity, notes of petrol and pear. Off-dry, medium bodied, lively acidity. Flavors of clove and fresh apricot. Medium finish. Fairly simple but well-balanced.
Thin yellow color with hint of green. Weak aroma intensity: lemon, peppercorn, light notes of petrol. Off-dry, medium bodied, fresh acidity. Flavors of red apple and pineapple with a medium finish. Enjoy the body of this wine but lacking complexity. Average value.
Medium brick color. Moderate aroma intensity: blackberry, currant, oak, tobacco. Dry, medium bodied and lively acidity. Moderately astringent tannins - suspect this could use a bit more decanting and/or yrs bottle ageing.
Deep ruby color. Moderate aroma intensity: red cherry, blackberry, eucalyptus. Dry, medium-bodied with lively acidity and soft tannins. Flavors of blackberry, and smoke/tar. Well-balanced and really paired well with braised beef & mushrooms.
