Critic 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. -91 -Tastings.com
My Review: Light gold color. Sweet flowers on the nose with subtle aromas of tropical fruit. The palate was very floral as well, as I tasted rose petal and violets. Grapefruit also came through on the palate with crisp acidity. A dry wine with a strangely long, lingering finish that seemed sweet. Not a bad wine, but I would choose to pair this with food instead of drinking it alone.
I tasted this without food.
