I was a little harsh in my 6/2/09 note. It is a food wine. Goes great with mixed party apps. Different enough from the typical cheap party whites you get (Think barefoot chard) for about the same price. And it still is a little flabby on its own, but 1. I overstated, and 2. just get out a little soft or creamy cheese or crab salad and crackers and its great!

This LVF wine is a nice light wine with a clean-scented nose with vague citrus tones. The taste is citrus with with a light & creamy mouth feel. The finish is short with citrus and also slightly oaky. Easy drinking, but not intriguing.

Very light color. Burnt rubber and citrus on the nose which is kind of interesting. Some citrus taste initially but nothing but bitter and/or sour on the mid-palate and finish. I shared this with four other people and no one liked it. It's not the worst thing I've had but there's really no reason to drink this.

This wine needs to be served with the right food. It goes with a brie, it goes good with mussels if you cook them with it. I was seduced at a wine tasting because my friend Marc Guizol (who owns a little restaurant that I used to work in the pantry called La Provence) paired it perfectly, so I bought a case. I have a little buyers remorse because the wine is a little flabby on its own, frankly. It's got citrus and papaya and honey, but it could use a little more acidity. Having said that, I had it with mahi mahi fish tacos with mango salsa, and loved it. And I'm really a red wine guy anyway so what the hey. But what that means is I usually aim for a stellar white when I drink them, and this is not.

Nice nose of citrus fruits. On the palate an oily mouthfeel of lime with an obvious green element which I did not mind at all. I could see how others would dislike this element however. Served at room temp. Great QPR.

Tasted blind - Pale lemon, clear throughout. Youthful nose of pear and tropical fruits. Flavours of banana, pear and some floral notes. Dry, medium to high acidity, medium body, and medium length finish that’s slightly musty. Drink now. Good.

I bought this wine to cook with and had a glass the next day. Really not a bad bottle of wine. It had a bigger nose then I had expected, apples and tropical fruits were in abundance. On the palate you get some creamy oak, lemon and banana. However, the finish was unpleasant and unfortunately hung around for awhile.

Easy, solid french white. Tropical notes and fun flavors. Nobody complained about this, sandwiched between some superstar wines. One person even said "this is what I love about french whites."

Lovely flowery/fruity nose. Taste is not bad - but not very exciting or memorable either. Good balance.

Totally inoffensive and cheap. No knocks other than lacking in depth and complexity. Cheap white wine for the masses.

Still great value @ $8... At this point I'd prefer the 05 and 06... but nonetheless, I look forward to quaffing the rest of the case!
