PnP. Straw yellow color. Light, crisp nose of apple and grapefruit. On the palate, nice acidity. I found more apple and pear flavors, and overall, very crisp. Nice finish. Well balanced. Went well with a spicier stir-fry dish we had. Very good. Aloha!

With the help of the grapestories TN assistant, here's what I come up with: The wine looks Greenish gold colored. It smells like Grapefruit, Lime, and Passion fruit. It tastes like Grapefruit, and Peach. The body is Light. Without assistance, I'd characterize the wine as having a bright nose of sweet grapefruit, with its tannic, slightly bitter pith, a little bit of tropical fruit, like kiwi, and light floral/herbal notes, too. The mouth is fairly straightforward and juicy, featuring more …

Excellent value wine. Very aromatic nose that is primarily a melange of floral and citrus fruit aromas with a touch of starfruit and kiwi. The palate enters richly and round with flavors of grapefruit, passionfruit, and salted lime and finishes clean and sharp with good focus and bright flavors reminiscent of fresh herbs, cut grass, and wet stone. Manages to taste deliciously ripe while retaining some complexity for such an inexpensive wine. Will pair exceptionally well with a number of …

This wine keeps suprising me. Excelent quality for a small price. Both nose and taste is all fruit, citrus, melon also floral notes. This is an refressing wine that drinks so easily that my glass keeps getting emty without a blink. Great to drink on it's own, goes verry well with fish, even had pizza frutty di mare with it, sushi etc. The better the weather the better this wine comes to its right. Right out of the fridge is …

I was surprised by how much I liked this $14 wine. Bright floral, citrusy, white fruit palate. There is a peachy roundness here, but there is also enough acidity to give it good cut. A dusting of white pepper on the nose gives additional complexity. Perfect sunny summer day outdoor white.

Stimmel's Market: Spain (Bowling Green, OH) : Gamey nose, with native grape notes - dry and floral. Lemony, but oddly flabby in the acidity department. Hollow mid palate. Ripe, almost viscous body. Interesting.

Nose of grapefruit with chives and a squirt of lime. Great citrus and herbal nose overall. Very vibrant. Medium bodied. Great acidity on the finish. A little bit of annis on the finish. I think I may have found my summer '09 white!
