Our review: A very pale yellow-gold in color, this aromatic wine exhibits a bouquet of citrus and floral scents. Rather dry on the palate, the flavors are not well-structured and seem subdued and diffuse, overpowered to a degree by a chalky minerality. The finish adds some earthy, almost smoky character.
Our rating: This isn't much of a sipping wine, but we do think it is food friendly, able to pair with a variety of cuisines. We served our bottle with roasted chicken, which we thought worked quite well for both meal and wine. We actually enjoyed this wine a bit more than our review may have suggested, rating it on the high side of Average. (And at just $5, it's definitely worth a try.)
