Pale straw color with a nose of pineapple and ripe melons. First tastes are of honeydew and cantaloupe with an infusion of orange rind and a touch of honey. The orange rind continues through the finish with a splash of grapefruit and a lively acidity. The heat from the 14.1% alcohol is noticeable, especially as the wine warms slightly in the glass.
Paired nicely with grilled rosemary pork chops topped with sauteed onions, parmesan couscous and buttered lima beans. By itself, it was 89. However, the bitterness of the finish, acidity and alcohol mellowed nicely when paired with food to bring it to a 90.

This was nice. Floral with a nice smooth finish. Pear flavors.
