Pale, bright yellow. Complex, fruit-driven aromas of citrus peel, peach and pineapple. On the palate, the wine's fruit is complicated by fascinating nuances of honey, wild herbs and licorice. Brisk, integrated acidity intensifies the flavors and gives structure to the wine. Finishes smooth and persistent, with attractive lingering fruit.

Delicious flavors of citrus and honeysuckle, with a dry grassy-herb finish. Complex stuff, while still being very easy drinking. I had it with raw oysters for the appetizer and the match was beautiful. It was almost equally excellent with the shrimp and scallop risotto. My wife, who always dislikes whites, enjoyed this one. Update to my review: Drank a second bottle. This time served with herb-roasted chicken. A beautiful match (the pinot noir was a slightly better match, but not by much) This wine has nice body, and can go with a range of foods. Thankfully, I still have a few more of these in the cellar to go...
