FOUND IN MY CELLAR. Deep yellow color. Taste of earthy ripe fruit. Delightful with the Caesar salad and sea bass.

Tangy and yummy. Sounds millennial, but that is an accurate description. Lemony zest that is perfect for grilled chicken with tagliatelle and olive oily.

2012 vintage

Pale yellow color. The nose is clean and, after a little bit of warming up, reveals aromas of apple, pear and tropical fruit. The palate is dry, but with a nice overlay of sweet fruit. The alcohol is medium (+) at 14% but as the glass warms up it become pronounced and a little hot. The palate overall is fresh and clean with medium (+) acidity. This is medium (+) bodied wine, with medium (+) flavor intensity with grapefruit and …

Citrus & lemon on the nose & mouth. No back bone or structure but a descent week day wine. A bit too grassy for my taste but others may find this profile to their tastes. Went fine with Swordfish.

aroma - fresh tomato; taste - nice acid, little bit of melon

2012 vintage

Floral and honey dew melon scent. Bright, crisp, lemon, grapefruit, cucumber and spice flavor. Quite interesting.

2012 vintage

Delicious, strong varietal character, lychee, almonds, complex

2012 vintage

Pale yellow with considerable viscosity. Floral and wet stone nose. Full bodied, rich with peach, mineral and touch of citrus. Long, lipsmacking finish from the abundant acidity.

2012 vintage

Fresh, fun and interesting!

2012 vintage

Crisp, good nose

2007 vintage

Still alive. Barely.

2007 vintage

Nose: pina colada all day long, pineapple, new world chard nose too. Radish. Taste: very zippy with peppery/onion finish. Dominating coconut and pineapple flavors. Just a hint of oak. Strong acidity and makes me think of a unsweet kiwi. Good weight with loads of flavor. Nice smokiness and toasty wood in the finish. Bit of cucumber underneath.

2008 vintage

ripe citrus, beeswax, minerals, stonefruit and a touch of spice....not bad. finish has moderate length and sweet touch at the end.

2008 vintage

Light gold. A bit subdued on the nose, but explosive on the palate - full bodied, with rich minerals. Long finish echos the excellent minerality. I liked, the wife not so much, not into the minerals I guess.

2007 vintage

Still very much alive, with peach, citrus, and stoney minerality; very lively and concentrated on the palate; surprisingly long finish. Great stuff!

2007 vintage

Odd nose, with kind of a burning leaves thing going on, mixed with lemons, limes and hard cider. Nice on the palate. Lots of nuttiness, a crisp lemony acidity, and a medium-light body. A slight Rhone-like bitterness upon opening, but that mostly fades away. No noticeable oak. Very concentrated flavor, long finish. Decent value for $9 on closeout.

2007 vintage

Well balanced wine that was an excellent partner with a crab risotto dish. Some fresh cut grass in the aroma with citrus and melons in the taste.

2007 vintage

Drank over a long weekend on Perdido Key, Florida. Didn't take notes. Overall impression: GREAT SUMMER WINE! Floral nose. Crisp and delicious. Paired well with shrimp, oysters and fish. Almost as good as their Greco di Tufo.

2007 vintage

lively acidity with lemon zest combined with a touch of grapefruit.

2007 vintage

Tropical fruits on the nose, most noticably Pineapple. Medium bodied, with a litte viscosity. This is a pretty ripe style, but it is fun to drink. 88+

2007 vintage

terrific performance by this modest wine ($16!). a crowd favorite, too.

2007 vintage

Italian Offline with Loren Sonkin (Backstreet Wine Salon, Phoenix) : Golden yellow color. Floral, tropical fruit nose. Pear, pineapple and limestone. Bright fruit in the mid palate. Good balance. Soft, fruit forward finish.

2007 vintage

Almost Sav Blanc in style without the vegetal qualities, great mouth feel with lemon, minerals and a nice freshness to the finish.

2007 vintage

grassy nose with some minerality, nice balance, with a brightness and a tart apple finish.

2007 vintage

Clean, good acidity, and a zesty, citrus-filled finish. Very nice.

2007 vintage

very well made, clean wine that i would characterize as, "refreshing", and under the right circumstances can really shine for the price. a little sharp in the acid department, but that's a minor quibble.

2007 vintage

Appearance is gold with green edges. Nose of orange blossoms, mineral and citrus. Taste is a soft citrus, with some spice and peach. Finishes zesty and dry. Overall, an easy-drinking wine with citrus flavors. Not a great QPR.

2007 vintage

GEMon (below) and I had the same overall impression of this wine. However, for me, its cleanliness and general effervescence, along with a vibrant display of the range of flavors GEMon mentioned, add up to a really fresh and tasty impression. All in all, an appealing wine that I find hard to keep in the glass. For about $19, I would purchase again.

2007 vintage

Pale yellow color. Tastes primarily of minerals and lemons with hints of honey. Tastes much more like an Australian wine than an Italian wine. Not bad for the price, but not memorable.

2007 vintage

Very acidic.

2007 vintage

Delicious crisp white, hints of melon, herbs, nice and dry with great acidity. Fantastic food wine.

2007 vintage

The nose is citrusy and tannic. After my first smell I was concerned the wine would be too sharp and acidic for my taste. I was completely wrong. The palate is honey, peach, cream and some citrus. What a great value! I'm ordering more.

2007 vintage

Tasting some of WS 2008 Top 100 (20nine Restaurant, San Antonio, TX) : WS#59. Wine has nice acidity. Taste of peach and some lemon. 88-90.
