Not nearly as bad as the score of 85 would lead you to believe. This is one of those nice easy quaffable Italian wines. Light feeling although there's body to it. Fruity, but not overpowering. Maybe some white peaches. Hints of acidity. Eating with pizza and it's amazing how well it works. I wouldn't seek out, but I will order again when stuck in LGA (which is a not uncommon experience).

Nez rafraîchissant de cantaloup, de poire et de menthe fraîche. Bouche bien équilibrée, avec tout juste assez de rondeur et d'acidité. À son apogée. Bien fait. À essayer avec des feuilles de vignes farcies.

Pale gold. Stone fruit, nut and floral notes. Light, simple and pleasant when first served. Filled out and added depth as it warmed. We had over chilled it. Good value. Good match for Salmon Veracruz. It handled the heat well.

again, a mysterious barrel note on the nose and palate, but all stainless used here. integrates (although not really present) nicely with the rich fruit profile. chalky with light florals. this wine has some cojones that I don't normally associate with wines done in all stainless. fun.

Medium intensity on the nose, with floral notes, green apple, stone and musty / wet wool. White grapefruit, melon and hay on the palate with a long finish. Nothing special, though.

Starts out smelling like Chablis w/saline & citrus notes. Palate is different, not as acidic, and light bodied. Short to medium finish. Better when no too cold.

An inviting nose of apples and creamy citrus. Nice limestone hints. Thoroughly enjoyable wine. Has a crispness that really balances the richer, apple like fruit flavors. Finishes with a smooth stony minerality.

such an interesting disparity of scoring among the previous three tasters. i guess i'd fall more in mr. jennings camp. this is day 2. apple fruit and an old world minerality throughout. today some sort of barrel note appeared on the nose, but then it vanished again into the almost baking appley fruit. medium acid and a lot of texture showing.

Canary yellow in the glass with a peaches and pear nose. Soft peach with balanced acidity is clean with a medium length finish.

Nice and a little better than the 09 with floral, orange peel, peach and minerals. Good acidity and medium finish. Drink now.

Did not enjoy this as much as previous bottles. Thin, vegetal, off-putting finish.

Toasty almond nose, with crisp, stone fruits. On the palate, minerals, flowers and peaches.

First glass was a little too warm.
Second (which was colder) was much better. Yellow color. Nice
