Vintage Cellar Tasting Notes:
This well-priced Friulano would pair nicely with spicy Indian or Thai food thanks to the creaminess and richness of its mouthfeel. In addition, the wine offers a solid bouquet of peach and melon that would not compete with fragrant ingredients 100% Ribolla Gialla.
Personal Tasting Notes:
The Bouquet of this wine was floral and light with a hint of honeydew melons. It was rather dry and definitely more acidic and biting to the palate than was anticipated. I did not detect the hints of peach given in the wine cellar's given description. Additionally, though the wine did have a light, semi-sweet finish. I believe that the rating of 87 given by wine enthusiast was high as I was not very impressed, although if tasted with food rather than alone it might be worthy of this score. This was not a particularly enjoyable wine.
