Vintage Cellar Review (derived from Beverage Tasting Institute): "Silvery straw color. Lively aromas and flavors of pineapple, yellow apple, melon, and Meyer lemon with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, complex, medium-long finish with notes of lemongrass, pear, and lemon with no tannins and no oak. Bright and crisp with layers of juicy pineapple, pear, lemongrass and ripe melon make this perfect for repeated sipping or enhancing fresh farm to table cookery."
My Review: To me, the aroma was reminiscent of a some variation of chemical with hints of fruit. Specifically, I was reminded of a pear flavor. The taste was smoother than I expected based off of the smell. This white wine left we with a slightly peppery after taste. While I was initially turned off by the smell, it made up for it considerably in the taste and I would consider drinking this again.
