Very pale greenish-gold color. All sorts of ripe fruit in the nose, with white peach, juicy pear, and ripe apple scents, augmented with a light dried tea note and some extraordinarily high-toned slatey/stoniness. Fills the mouth with ripe, juicy fruit, yet has enough acids to keep it fresh and interesting. A very mild bitter tea component comes through at the end. Light-bodied and round-textured. Not super complex, but really fun to drink. B+. Was $9.99 from Winex.com. Imported by Winesellers, Ltd. of Niles, IL.
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!
