Review - "Pale color. Fruity,
floral minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice
poached pear, and papaya with a lean, racy, bone-dry medium body and a smooth,
complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no
tannins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus
and minerality thru to the long, crisp finish, this soave can seamlessly go
from cocktail hour thru to vibrantly flavored dishes. " -- Tastings.com, 91 Points
My Review - I was underwhelmed when I tried this wine. Offering a nice, sweet bouquet with a honey tinge gave me high hopes for this wine; however, I was underwhelmed when I tasted it. The wine fell flat and lacked body, and its heat component washed out any fruit flavors the wine had. This wine is overrated and I would pass if I saw it again.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
