With a greenish tinge to the straw color, this is an ultradry, very crisp wine, especially notable for terrifically clean vibrancy. Blended with 5% Verdelho, it shows strong lemongrass, grapefruit, wildflower, candied ginger, spice and mineral flavors that finish impressively long. Easily one of the best $10 wines of the year.

Too soft and too sweet, with sugared cherry, raspberry, blackberry and chocolate flavors. Okay and clean, but with this inherent sweetness, the wine could use more balancing acids and tannins.
