  SnP that was good across two days. Good typicity, very fresh. No overbearing gooseberry, thankfully, instead lots of lime, some lemon, sage, sea spray, some kiwi, etc. Light>medium body, avg length. Performs well at its price point of ~ $12 and should drink well for a few more years. Better than I was expecting, but then is VM. 13,5% abv. recommended.

  마시기편한 쇼블.
  복합미나 프루티함은 덜하지만 슴슴한 느낌의
  산도가 있는 맛이다.
  가성비로 좋으나, 동등가격대라면 마틴버러를 선호.

  The Villa Maria Private Bin is awesome. Let me start by saying I am primarily a red drinker but I’m very open to try new whites and prefer dryer and cleaner profiles. This one is a pale straw color with super tiny sediment-like bubbles. The nose has passion fruit, lychee, and gooseberry. The palate is medium-heavy for a white, bursting with flavor. I do get lemon and lime acidity, but not quite the kaffir lime advertised on the label. The finish is complex with green pepper, cut grass and dry rice. Seems to lose its power the longer the bottle is open. But upon first opening and around 60F this is delicious and extremely food friendly.
  
  Had the regular Villa Maria at an oyster bar on Rappahannock river last month. That wine was good, this one is better.
