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.

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.
