decent wine but reminds me why there are very few new world whites that I enjoy. Nose of vanilla custard, tart lemon/lime acids, rind pith, cooked cauliflower. On the palate it was pretty choppy with the dominant note being the very strong lemon/lime acids. Not bad but nothing great. Not a good value for $25 considering so may other options.

A decent wine with a nose figs, vanilla, lemon, and sage. The palate included banana cream pie, figs, grass, taragon, and orange. A pleasant wine with a medium finish that went well with cheese fondue...but I longed for the Hendrix headband around my glass...I want to hear the Dead in the background when I drink a white wine. No tongue rippin' acids to be found anywhere! I believe my domestic white days are coming to an end.

Slightly tropical on the nose, creamy notes with balanced acidity. I paired fabulously with mushroom risotto

Consistent with last review. Great citrus notes of ruby grapefruit and lemon with a touch of vanilla. fun wine.

This was a pleasant surprise. The more subdued fruit, crisp acidity and some nice mineral notes made me think of a Bordeaux style. Very nice.
