A wine that tastes as it looks: yellow. Yellow apple, banana, a bit of pineapple, certainly lemon. Lovely minerally nose. Medium dry with a buttery texture, fine and tightly focused, but there's not much to the finish. A good compliment to dal. It gains some weight on the third day but also loses focus and starts trending toward flabbiness. Guess I should've drunk this younger.

Really awesome stuff, amazing for a QbA. Explosive scents right out of the gate of exotic fruit and fresh vegetation, almost Gruner-like in how enticing the green character is. Tastes mostly dry with the RS just adding some plumpness and creaminess; it still snaps like a whip and throws a little sour in with the sweet as the tropical flavors segue to something more like tequilla.

This really hit the spot. Just gently off-dry, it was nicely ripe, balanced, and fresh. We had it with a simple grilled chicken with olives and some potatoes, and it was a great match. I've had a hard time finding nice, authentic, affordable everyday wines like this lately. Thanks Lyle.

Lime and wet stone on the nose. Off-dry with nice balancing act between the sugar and the acidity. Creamy mouthfeel. Very good wine and excellent QPR.
