Winery Review: Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.

 

My Review: This colorless wine had a subtle nose that opened with a pleasant combination of honey, peppermint, sage and lemon. On the palate, the wine was slightly dry, bringing out the herby flavors. The finish was smooth and clean and echoed a little bit of citrus.

With food?: I tried this wine without food.
