Winery review:  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: Biggest. Citrus. Bomb. Ever. This wine was awesome! I liked the little hint of mint and lemon on the nose and it carried really well into the rest of the wine. It was dry and very balanced and clean. This would be a great wine for people to transition from sweet wines like moscato (what I see a lot of people drinking when they don’t want something to taste like “wine”) to more dry whites. This was a very pleasant wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
