Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar): 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: The nose was fresh, with melon and citrus notes. It started sweet with the same nose profile, was quickly taken over by acidity, and finished dry. This was an interesting wine, since there were so many layers to it. The sweetness got me to drink it in the first place, the mid palate kept me interested, and the dry finish made me want to keep drinking it. Even though the aspects of the wine were so separate, I liked it enough to get a bottle to take home! I would like to try it with a creamy dish or appetizer.
With Food: No
