Light silvery/gold color. Grassy herbs and fresh gooseberry fruit dominate the lively nose, with only a hint of minerality. Bone dry, herbal, straw-inflected lime/gooseberry fruit, with crisp acids for freshness, and a clean but somewhat bitter finish. Good, but not great. Would be a really nice counterpoint with sweet grilled shrimp or seared sweet scallops. B. Was $18.99 from Winex.com. Imported by Kermit Lynch.
An idiosyncratic journal of wines I buy from a mix of Internet sources and retailers in the Northern Virginia/D.C. area. Mostly inexpensive and moderately-priced stuff, reflecting my frugal New England roots. Cent anni!
