Nice light and crispy blend from southern France, showing pale straw in glass, with subtle flinty aromas of stone fruit and salt air. Palate when chilled is quite restrained, but opens with some warmth to show layers of white peach, green melon, a touch of papaya and an undercurrent of fresh lime. Minerality and a nice streak of acidity give it balance and snap, while the finish is medium and very tasty. Terrific QPR, and perfect for hot weather.

Clean very pale straw color in glass, with aromas of salt air and stone fruit. Crisp green apple, white peach and a touch of clementine on the palate, bracing acidity and nicely balanced. Incredible bargain as a Costco find, and perfect for a hot afternoon, or with shellfish or halibut as a main course pairing. Medium+ finish.

Quite tart on opening, a bit like a sauvignon blanc, but mellows a little and as the palate adjusts it is quite a refreshing wine with some depth and complexity. A little melon combined with grapefruit give it that sweet and sour mix. Not bad for <$10 although not my favorite style.

Another terrific bottle. For the price, you can't beat this.
