  Enjoyable, very fresh. Nice, round mouthfeel with honeysuckle and peach flavors.

  8/28/2011 - subtlet Likes this wine:

  The nose explodes with full, smashed limes. Peels and fruit dominate the bouquet, with lemon juice and some juicy grape scents lingering behind. The limes burst onto the palate with some oranges and a touch of ginger. I get a touch of gentle minerality on the mid palate, and something round, like peach flavors hide underneath the full and refreshing acidity. This is crisp, bracing, and delivers in spades at the price point.

  Lovely grapefruit dominates the nose backed by some grassy scents and a hint of peaches. It's clean and balanced on the palate with good acidity. The grapefruit flavors show through along with lighter flavors of an under ripe peach. All of the flavors linger nicely on the finish. 89-

  Probably not my favorite style of wine. I'm not sure this works, it's a little flabby, but let's give them some credit for trying to create something unique. Not often do we see Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Marsanne blended together. We have plenty of golden color. The nose is sweet, with a touch of honeysuckle. The palate is rich, almost sweet. This is one of those wines with the flavor of banana and fig. Definitely high in viscosity, but too low in acid for my taste. The honeysuckle reappears in the quite long finish.
