May 25, 2008 - Tart, acidic, and crisp. Similar to a Sauvignon Blanc, but with more sour grapefrut and wet rocks. This was nice, but not particularly inspiring. Nice refreshing drink for a summer day. Good value for what it is.

January 7, 2007 - We picked up this bottle at Central Market in order to poach a mahi mahi dish in the wine for dinner, than drank the rest of the bottle with our meal. Very light and acidic, with lemon and citrus flavors. I am not a big white wine drinker, but reminded me of sauvingon blanc. For the price, a great wine. Excellent pairing with the mahi mahi, risotto cakes and asparagus.

December 30, 2006 - We drank this over several days. The first night it showed mostly lemon citrus smells and very acidic, a little too tart to be enjoyable. On day 2 it had a toasty leesy smell, but the palate had settled down and also some minerals made an appearance. Much better. Day 3 the wine was drinking at its best for me, some leesy notes, strong minerals, citrus and still quite fresh. For $8/liter and topped with a crown cap, it is hard to imagine a better value.
