  Double blind. Initially ripe fruit with a tropical note. Felt that waxy rhone note. I'm no expert but I guessed new world white rhone. Surprisingly balanced, though could use a bit more acid, and a bit less oak.

  I really do like this wine. Bracing acidity but with a rich feel. Tropical fruit continuing to citrus. Handled a beet risotto easily, playing of the slight tartness of the beets while matching the richness of the risotto.
  Just a great food wine.

  Light yellow. Sumptuous aromas of tropical fruit and exotic honey with Indian spices, lead to flavors of ripe guava, sweet stone fruit and a touch of citrus. Full bodied and deep, with enough acidity to pull it off, this is an excellent example. Drink now through 2016.

  This worked out very nicely in two different mussel dishes this week!

  Brilliant yellow. Fresh, clean nose of ripe pit fruit with hints of citrus and fresh summer herbs. Bright and lively on the palate with flavors of melon, fig, and citrus. No heaviness. Good acidity with balancing viscosity make this a very successful example. Drink now through 2016.
