Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of sulfur, mixed yellow fruits and pineapple. Flavors of lemon, yellow pears and dried pineapple. Medium acidity, medium body. Drink over the shorter term than the medium term.

Washington Wines (Farpointe Cellar): The nose reminded me of fresh cut flowers dipped in raw honey. Underneath was some citrus and tropical fruit. The palate was exactly like the nose, with some good acidity. It finished with some good minerality.

Tasted January 30, 2010 at a retail tasting. Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of honeysuckle, acacia flowers, lychee and wet stones. Flavors of apricot core, peach and light earthy notes on the finish. Medium acidity, light to medium body. Drink over the short to medium term.

drank over two nights with food. first night, opened and drank. first sensation was some floral bouquet and just a touch of sweetness . Then, as the wine got its legs, the smooth sensation of the grape began to dominate. The second night, the bouquet and the sweetness are gone but the smoothness continues.

pale gold, medium intensity on the nose with notes of peach and melon that carried on in the palate. A nice medium bodied wine with crisp acidity.
