Wine Critic Review (Provided by Vintage Cellar)Pale yellow.  High-pitched aromas of lemon zest and white flowers, with a piquant mineral overtone.  Dry, racy and focused, offering tangy lemon zest and green apple flavors and a touch of bitter herbs.  Closes with good clarity and cut, leaving a tart citrus fruit note behind.  This is pretty grown-up for the price, not to mention a superb value.
My Review: This wine smelled like fresh fruit that I couldn't quite place. It didn't taste like anything specific, but it was dry and had a nice warm finish, albeit short. I really liked this wine and would drink it again with or without food.
With Food: No
