Crisp, mineral, lemon. Bland out of refrigerator but fuller bodied as it opens. Perfect to enjoy overlooking Narragansett Bay in summer with seafood or light pasta. Great summer stock at $9-10.

Martin D got this right; lighter body/mid palate out of the fridge, but brightens up as it warms up. Nice mineral/lime and a fine tingly acidity on the finish; good QPR and a good hot afternoon summer sipper in the East Bay.

Creamy, smooth; citrusy. Good alone or with food. Good lunch wine on a warm day outdoors. Paired well with creamy pea soup. Paired well with spicy Thai food. On another time had it ourdoors on a warm day with lobster and steamers and paired well.

Liked this. Similar to a Riesling..(?) - Nice light yellow/gold color. Nose of apples and green melon. Good fruit and sweetness, not as much acidity as I was expecting. Good wine though.

Light straw color with lime, apple and mineral aromas. On the palate, it approaches medium-bodied and is very nicely balanced with lime, apple, and hint of wet stone flavors. Medium-long finish. Wonderful with raw oyster, and grilled clams!

- Light gold color with fast forming legs and aromas of honey. It's in total harmony and has flavours of lemon, peach and almond with a light body. Polished texture with a short finish - Fresh flowery nose, slight pear. Beautiful color.

Neighborhood Wine Party Selection (BB House): This wine needs to be pulled out of the refrigirator ~ 15-20 minutes prior to drinking otherwise the aromatics are shut down - I originally would have rated this in the mid to low 80s but when I retasted 1 hour later it was nicer. Green apple / lemon / grassy on nose. Green apple & lemons on palate. Balanced with short+ finish. 86-88 range.

Great drink now white, lots of citrus, grapefruit and lime and grassy notes. Some minerality on the back. Good on it's own, great with Halibut or shellfish.

Pours a very pale straw color, almost colorless with thick tears. Sweet creamy papaya, hints of pineapple and banana, green pear, and slight citrusy undertones near the back end. I also pick up something on the very tail end that reminds me of creamy strawberry and artificial cherry. Light-bodied with a striking acidity, grapefruit, tangerine, tropical fruit, and a little minerality characterize the front and mid-palate. The acidity is very crisp, almost prickly on the front palate, and is balanced by a creamy fruitiness on the short finish. Overall this is a clean, simple, easy-drinking wine that would go well with light, sweeter dishes. Except for the beautiful bottle though, this wine isn't very memorable.

Light pale yellow. Light lemons, pineapple, honey and cream upon opening. Less acidity than expected, and a bit softer than some of the good hot summer wines, but another nice summer bargain for a hot day. The citrus adds crispness, while the creamy part gives a little lenght. The lower acidity makes it somewhat unusual and had I tried it blind no telling what I would have guessed it to be. But an easy drinking lower alcohol (12.5%) wine that is not too hard on the wallet.

Tart acidity with a bit of effervescence. Pale yellow in the glass. Green apple dominates. Great with spicy food.

Open, refreshing with citrus tones. Probably a better choice for July than for February, but no regrets-

From 3L box. Not as good as the 2009. Same qualities, but weaker with a sharper ending.

Citrus flavors with just the right amount of acid. I was expecting some sweetness but found a touch but certainly not intrusive. Nice.

Drank the entire bottle over lunch. Delicious with mussels. Pleasant acidity with an underlying fruitiness.
