Screw-top white Rhone; I was excited to get this because this is the ONLY white Rhone I could find at my local store, but I was disappointed. My wife thought it was okay, but I found it very off-balance. The nose was nice (peaches, honey,minerals) the attack was clean and crisp but then it transitioned into a polar opposite. The finish was like candy (but not a good candy, maybe more like a honey-lemon cough drop which I think are disgusting). I tried it again three days later (typically not the sign of a wine I like if it is around 3 days later) and it seemed to balance a bit more. Since my expectations were different, I was expecting it to be ehhhh again, but instead of the awful finish surprising me at the end it wasn't quite as harsh and had a slightly better transition through the mid-palate. It was worth a shot and drinkable, but I wouldn't get it again.

color: straw nose: Peaches and river rocks. Coats mouth nicely and feels viscous, but not heavy. Turns very dry in a fairly short finish. Fairly simple, yet clean and is a good food wine. decent value @ $9

A decent wine with some nuttiness, a little oak, and butter. Nice finish with nothing offensive. ($5)

Clean and crisp. Hint of minerals and candied, without the sweetness. Buy more.

very low acidity for a white wine, full of honey and orange rind, the wine is lacking depth, but cost less than ten bucks, so there is no complaint

Clean and lean, with flavors of pears and tangerine rind. A nice value offering under $10. Packaged in a screwtop bottle.
