  March 20, 2013 - We found this bottle in the back our our wine celler and was afraid we had missed the window to enjoy. Surprisingly, wine still had a very crisp taste with lime citrus overtones. Semi-dry.

  July 19, 2009 - Aroma of petroleum jelly, apricots, and honey. Superb acidity in the mouth, with lots of vibrant tropical fruit. A superb value.

  May 22, 2009 - very pale and clear. subtle floral and mineral. Somewhat Sauvignon Blanc-like. Reminds me of a good white from Friuli. bright acidity at first. opens up into a very nice slghtly off-dry aperitif. crisp lime, granny apple and minerals. Great balance. Great

  May 21, 2007 - Lemon zest.
  It sort of jumps out at you.
  This wine is crisp, with a little bit of sweetness in all the right spots. Quite enjoyable, especially for the $6 price tag.
  
  Would definitely buy again - maybe even a case.
  
  Our rating: :-)
