12.5% alcohol; imported by Winebow Inc, New York City; screw top, aroma of generic sweetness and some overripe fruit behind it, possibly kiwi and gooseberry; long legs, pale 8K gold, opened and tasted 10 minutes later at 12 degrees C in a Lucas & Lewellen glass designed for whites and some reds; nose of the fruits growing in Aladdin's Garden; full bodied, a little Strudel (effervescence) tickling the tongue; in addition to the kiwi and gooseberry, presence of grapefruit, and maybe some stone fruits like peaches, on a less sweet, more serious background of minerality, touches of sourness and bitterness; not straightforward at all but an unexpected, well-crafted me'lange of complementary flavors; long finish lingers on the back of the tongue; pair with cheeses (Gruye`re, Port du Salut, Limburger) and seafood, like line-caught Pacific Coho salmon, prepared on pecan boards over a charcoal or gas grill

Varietally correct, balanced, and simple. Grapefruit citrus with some grassy notes.
