Light straw yellow. Flowery nose with citrus undertones. Medium bodied, lemon that turns somewhat bitter fairly quickly, good acid, and an astringent finish. Is this past its prime? Maybe.

Love X, and this is a nice wine, but probably wouldn't buy again. A little to sweet. Maybe too much Muscat? Very floral with grapefruit notes. Zippy and more complex than you might think at first sip.

was very discouraged about the light color of this wine but this really came through with much more flavor than I thought- seems like the extra 4 months in bottle since others have reviewed it have allowed this wine to come together more- I honestly can not see anyone not enjoying this wine- from a wine geek to a novice- I will post my detailed notes a little later but this is a perfect summer party wine for $12

(X-Winery White X) #1; COLOR-golden; NOSE-heavy citrus (lemon and ruby grapefruit); floral component as well; fresh & clean; PALATE-very interesting blend; good quality; very clean; little hint of residual sugar on the back-end (from the Muscat) makes this very accessible; some nice sweetness, but high acid; an imaginary blend of a New Zealand Sauv Blanc and a Dr Loosen Riesling, but with more weight; I like this a lot; very drinkable; for $12 bones, this is very intriguing; easy and fun, but complex with a nice mid-palate with some ginger spice and floral action; RP-89; GV-89+

Light color, nice bouquet and weighty mouth feel. Somewhat hot and alcoholic finish.

A nose of citrus and honey, medium yellow in color. A medium bodied white blend, honey, grapefruit, orange zest, fresh acidity, a good value.
