Wine review: 89 points -Beverage Testing 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: Not too bad, I thought that this was an ok wine. Very middle of the spectrum. Notes of straw and melon on the nose. On the palate was slightly dry with light flavors of fresh cucumber and subtle flavors or citrus. On its own, I felt the wine was just simple. However, if paired with fresh foods, I think this wine could excel and show its true flavors. A good wholesome food pairing would be ideal, and I would love to try this wine again with food from Rachel's Kitchen!
