From a 375. Medium golden color, lighter than expected; nose has stone fruit, minerality, aromatic, slight lime, honeyed botrytis, very slight petrol; palate is light-medium bodied, low alcohol, high acid (tingly even with all the sugar), some sweetness but in great balance, white peach and lime that fades a tad through the tangy midpalate; finish is medium-plus and pleasant. This is phenomenal for $15 and would pair well with a wide range of foods. Drink now and in the next few years. 92

Honey, citrus notes. Nice clean fresh fruity acidity. Goes very well with strawberries! Not heavenly but a very good wine for the price.
