  This is fine and very elegant, although a tad sweet.
  White flowers, pear, lemon.
  
  The lightness of this is quite elegant.

  Pale yellow. Engaging nose of light peach or nectarine. There is some spiciness, almost like Gewürztraminer light. Unfortunately, it finishes with just a tad too much sweetness for my taste despite a reasonable amount of acid. It's great to see this popular Georgian/Russian variety grown in the U.S. Several decades ago, Jim Concannon, after a trip to the USSR, imported cuttings to be grown on his family vineyard in the Livermore Valley. But that wine went nowhere, and the vines were either pulled or grafted over to more commercial varieties. Overall, the Dr. Konstantin Frank wines are a great value.

  Drank a while ago and forgot to drop a note. Recall very nice acidity, delicious stone fruit but more savory flavors as well. Medium body, medium length. Good wine.

  Verylight lemon color.
  
  Lemon, pear, lychee and faint minerality on the nose.
  
  Lemons and pears on the saline palate are very nice. Mouthfeel transcends the color and nose, and riesling-type acidity provides freshness and lift. Very nice.
