    Aromas recall freshly chopped herbs such as thyme and parsley, with a very likable hint of pine tar as well. That mix of tree resin and Italian herbs comes through on the palate too, making for a flavorful and stand-out wine.

    Fresh as a daisy, with green grass, lemon, lime and peach flavors that taste like they were just picked under the summer sun. Juicy acidity gets the mouth watering. The alcohol is modest, giving the wine a light delicacy.

    A nice clean Sauvignon Blanc, whose brisk acidity gives the lemon-drop and lime flavors a kick. Tastes distinctly sweet in the finish. There's no oak in this fresh, fruity young wine.
