Smells fresh and inviting, like lemon curd and freshly laundered sheets. Acidic but not overly tart; pear and peach flavors only get better and more intense as the wine opens. A very good wine at a fair price. 3,000 cases imported. Imported by Commonwealth Wine & Spirits Inc.

Brisk and grapefruity, with perhaps some touches of ruby red or cherry as well. Despite the crispness, this is relatively easy to drink, because it also has a plump midpalate and friendly nature. A versatile seafood white.

Has a little candle wax and citrus on the nose. The mouthfeel has a citrusy kick, but relies on its smooth, minerally feel. Offers lemon and lime flavors, but its understated, for sure. Imported by Orientale Imports LLC.

The meaty, fresh-herb notes that we like about Cab manifest themselves differently in a rosé version of the variety. Though there’s some mixed-berry fruit here, it’s not a giving, fruit-forward wine. Perhaps suffers by being evaluated without food; this one’s meant for the table. Imported by Commonwealth Wine & Spirits Inc.

Fragrant tropical fruit flavors waft from the nose, but the palate is more understated, relying on mineral and chalk notes for flavor and texture. A simple, good choice whenever chicken breast is on the menu. Imported by Orientale Imports LLC.

Tastes like it's trying to be New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, boasting a plump, almost sweet-tasting mouthfeel and tropical-tinged flavors that veer into the realm of green peas. short and honeyed on the finish--is this fully dry?
