  -- tasted a single glass non-blind over approx. 10 minutes --
  
  NOSE: crisp, with light apple and pear aromas, framed by shades of oak and flowers; simple, but not unpleasant.
  
  BODY: pale white-yellow color; medium-light to medium bodied.
  
  TASTE: very minerally – reminded me of seltzer water; not much fruit; short-medium length finish of light intensity; 12% alc.; at best, this wine would pair nicely with some delicate sea food, like a white fish of some sorts; on its own, however, this wine is merely decent, and not memorable.
  
  B: 50, 5, 11, 13, 5 = 84

  No discernable nose. Thin, dilute palate, not pleasant but not offensive. Glad this was free, wouldn't drink it for free if offered again though.
