A fresh, complex nose of mixed citrus, flowers, cut grass and honey that’s followed up well on the palate, with each note coming clear and riding lively acidity through a fully integrated finish. The winery’s effective use of acacia wood continues to make this wine stand out in blind flights in intriguing fashion. Lots of options for pairing this — I’m thinking a saucy halibut steak. I especially love the fact that this is widely available and budget priced. Drink up!
