Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
"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."
Personal Tasting Notes:
This wine had an aroma of grapefruits and lemons. Additionally, the wine was almost completely clear and tasted smooth and a bit sweet with a bitter lingering. For flavors I did once again taste the flavors of lemons and grapefruit but perhaps also yellow apple. It was rather dry and I did not detect the supposedly complex flavors that were given in the description. I honestly think the rating of 89 was high although if tasted with food rather than alone it might be worthy of this score.
