  Very good. Straw color. Compost/straw on the nose. Crisp, yet mellow flavor, with a quick but noticeable finish. Not sweet. Very enjoyable! Light and refreshing.

  Agree with most of comments. This is a nice solid wine with good qpr. Nice fruit and acid, medium weight with light bright citrus and some floral notes. Would buy again.
