Light gold color with a greenish hue. Complex nose with apple juice, pear, vegetable tones, and minerality. Wine is big and lacks crispness. Some buttery tones and Riesling characteristics but overshadowed by the flavors found on the nose. Give this a 30 minute decant and serve colder than normal. Decent QPR because of its uniqueness.

Floral nose, stone fruit and lime up front, salinity on the core and a medium-bright finish, more tang than lift. Reminds me a lot of an Alsatian or even Oregonian Pinot Gris.

Retail $22. Antão Vaz, Arinto, Roupeiro. A slight straw color in the glass with aromas of ripe tropical fruit and a dash of salinity. The palate is lush and inviting with a nice tanginess, but far from bracing, with luscious fruit that coats the mouth. Every time I open an Esporão, I am taken back to my visit to Alentejo a couple of years ago. Such a beautiful region with wonderful people and fantastic wines. thedrunkencyclist.com
