By the glass from Vineyards at TAC with lightly fried softshell crab and fresh vegetable spring rolls (not fried). Light, clean, and freshly appealing straw color. Nose shows bright citrus and white peach with a touch of floral interest thrown in. Smooth and light on entry, the mid-palate doesn’t exactly explode, but fills out nicely with round white fruit and a light mineral core. Medium finish continues more of the same, plus a little fresh field grass. Perhaps lacking a bit of definition and acid versus Prà offerings from other vintages, I would drink this up now while it is fresh and refreshing. A nice foil to the food, as long as one avoids the (unnecessary) spicy dipping sauce. What simple regional whites should achieve more often.
