Very good alone or with Indian food

The last two bottles were much better than the first two. Great balance between melon fruit, minerality, and acidity. A really nice seafood wine that needed some years to mellow out.

Quite nondescript. No varietal influence at all. Hard to characterize. Drinkable, nothing interesting.

Similar to our last tasting. Nice white bordeaux.

Serviceable white Bordeaux. Slight pineapple and lime across the palate. Nose is muted, with hints of minerality and some citrus. Basic, but was an easy drinker on a hot summer day.

Consistent with recent notes, this was thin; powerfully acidic with hardly any fruit, body, or minerality to back it up; and overall, simply uninspiring. It drank much more like a mass-market Sauvignon Blanc than an Old World Chardonnay. Another disappointing WLTV-based purchase.

Nose: a bit of grass, some pineapple and apple. Palate: golden apple with a hint of lime zest. Good acidity but next to no finish. Very average.

Citrus, powder and light floral notes; enjoyable palate, gone as quickly as it comes. Light and relaxed. 50/5/11/14/6

The wine is weak. Very one dimensional and not much to a finish. The nose and attack were very thin and watered down. The initial taste had a musky/lemony taste with virtually zero mid palette. There are much better wines in this price point to satisfy your need for a quick drink. I would pass on this.

Very light bodied. Discreet aromatically. On the palate, minerality with moderate acidity. A quaffer. I've most of a bottle still and two more bottles as well. I'll try this with fish or something a little on the bland side to see how it pairs up.

Tasted this last night and it was thin and flat. Almost like it had been diluted with water. Not sure if that was a result of the food that accompanied it but the wine was definitely a pazzzzzz.

Popped and poured. For what it is, not bad. Completely uncomplicated, super-easy drinking. Muskmelon, lemon and almond on the palate, with a definite Sauv Blanc influence. Oddly low on acid, but in the ballpark, and still very refreshing with the 11.5% alcohol. Serve well chilled, and knock back a bottle on a nice summer day. $13

Liked this one. Pleasant tasting, slightly floral. Not complex; simple and satisfying.

A great QPR white. Crisp and clean with a little bit of body. I think this wine has more Sauvignon and less Semillon, which I enjoyed.

Straw yellow color; citrus nose. On the palate, lemon flavors with some minerality. Slightly tart, but light and crisp. Nice white bordeaux and food friendly. Aloha!

I pick up a green apple and grassy aroma with a little sweetness. On the palate I get a tart mineral taste like I licked a green apple off of a metal table. It is good and intriguing and worth a try on a warm summer night.

No tasting notes taken, but very soft, smooth wine. Disappeared very quickly at a party....including my glass by accident!

Light grass, florals, and a touch of almond on the nose. A little herbaceous and soft up front, the acidity kicks in a little towards the middle and then carries the wine through the modest finish, along with tinges of green apple and unripe pineapple.
