Fratello's Offline - Paso Robles (Laguna Niguel, CA): Nose of fresh apricots and unripe pineapple. Creamy palate is undergirded by mineral and stone notes. Zesty finish. A really nice white rhone! 89-90 points.

Popped and poured and tasted without food. Clean, light and pale yellow color. Nose was crisp and clean with hints of peaches and honey and a touch of lemon. It doesn't quite jump out of the glass but sits there waiting there for you. The empty glass gives off oak aromas. The palate comes across quite heavier than the nose. Oily and honeyed with a touch of minerality and wet stone. Nice level of acidity on the finish. All in all quite nice actually. Think I'll have to pick up more. 89-90.

Stone fruits and minerals with good acidity and balance. A great Summer wine to drink with light sea food.
