Community Tasting Notes 7

  October 10, 2014 - intellectually interesting and idiosyncratic. A little gewurz on the nose (rosebud perfume, honeydew melon wedges, jasmine tea), bone dry and refreshing on the palate, quite the body, perhaps a little leesy? price point very good - I am glad I tried it but ultimately I would not buy again.

  August 2, 2014 - I really liked this wine. Refreshing, complex, very different and unusual but in a good way. Would definitely buy again.

  December 21, 2013 - New at MLCC ~ 18$ CAN - The notes below are consistant with mine...a different style of white that is refreshing in its own way, but some may not like this more "aromatic/floral" quality to it. Nose is floral, melon, grass, ?classic jasmine? Palate is med+ bodied, dry and refreshing with notes that are on the nose - maybe some lavender and bitter grapefruit that comes through mid/finish.
  
  I would say this is one for the wine geeks to try and would be great at a tasting panel. Nice match with some more complicated food and has good price point for the experience! Enjoy

  December 4, 2013 - Light straw color. Aromatic nose - very floral, maybe a little honey and melon, and a touch of grassyness. Dry, very crisp. Heavier body that I was expecting. Not the most interesting wine, but delicious and a crowd pleaser. Great with food or alone. $13 makes this a steal. 88+ pts
