Probably well past its prime, but still pretty good. Yellow-orange color (butternut squash), very pretty nose with lots of yellow stone fruit; crisp, dry, citrusy flavors with a hint of sherry; decent, dry finish with a touch of astringency and more stone fruit. Can't complain for the price.

Carafe from freshly popped bottle. Over lunch at iO Osteria. Appearance is clea, pale intensity, yellow lemon colour. Legs. Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of citrus lemon, wet stones saline minerals, light honey floral. Youthful. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet citrus lemon, rounded pine and almond nut, golden pear, grapefruit, touch of honey. Medium+ finish. Very good quality. Pleasant balanced fruit + mineral white. Drink young.

Citrus, hints of stone fruit, crisp, refreshing. A good sipping wine to look out at the Pacific at Pelican Hill celebrating a family members birthday.

Much better than the scores show here. For the price it over delivers. Crisp citrus with a nice floral component. Best served ice cold.

Mineral rich. Refreshing. Best when chilled only slightly cooler than room temperature.
