Light golden color in the glass. The wine is very aromatic, showing rich tropical fruit highlighted by papaya, pineapple and guava, along with succulent white flowers. The palate brings more lush, juicy tropical fruit and adds orange marmalade and a slight mineral streak. Acidity is still high, and there is a strong bitter note on the medium length finish.

Had this at a restaurant tonight. Weight of a Rhone Blanc but the Sauvignon Blanc (30%) gives it a crisp edge and finish. Very aromatic. Mineral, lime and heavier tropical fruit palate. We ordered it with a variety of Mexican seafood dishes and it worked superbly with all but a Serrano Chile laced dish that would kill any wine. An unbelievably good value.

Light gold in color. Notes of tangerine & grapefruit, rose hips and slate. Medium bodied and rich on the palate with nice brightness augmented with subtle honeyed and spice depth. Nicely balanced throughout with a lingering crisp finish. Very nice QPR.

Pale gold color. PnP, Drank 2+ glasses over 2 hours. This has a nice nose with lots of lift from the abundant florals, citrus, grasses, loads of minerality. The palate is fairly light bodied, crisp and clean with citrus and minerals predominating, medium finish. Nice QPR wine.

Greenish gold color. Citrus notes with a mineral lean. I've burned through 8 of these already and need more. Outstanding QPR at $12.

Bright citrus, mineral and melon aromas with an underlying Sauv Blanc-like grassy quality. Citrus, pear and mineral flavors on the palate, with terrific acidity. Nice finish.
