  Had this blind with friends. I brought it, but if I didn’t, it likely would’ve perplexed me a little. It is clear with a slight straw/lemon juice color. Legs show medium. On the nose it is super floral. Lots of tropical fruits just come right to your nose, mango and lemongrass were some that stood out. On the palate is much of the same. Some slight alcohol on that back with medium acid. Pretty good, nothing special. I saw one interesting way to rate wines blind, would you serve it to your friends? Yes. Would you serve it at a dance party? Also yes.

  Clear, slightly deep straw. Lemongrass, apricot, tangerine. Low acids, no tannins, not sweet. Lemon curd. Short slightly acidic finish.

  First sampled this at Matanzas Creek.
  
  This note was from a bottle we purchased in March 2020, opened today. Medium yellow color. It smells like passion fruit, guava, melon, with a hint of slightly floral cat pee. On the palette, and I mean this in the best way, I get a strong mango melon tropical Starburst flavor. Lingering flavor of coconut. Crisp acidity. Great wine, just not sure if it is worth the $40 paid.
