    This is an underripe stench bomb with pyrazines coming at you from every direction. The nose is like a bowl of cactus and nettle, while the palate is harsh. Flavors of bitter pithy grapefruit show all that can go wrong with this variety.

    Lime, tarragon and fresh green aromas are a bit minerally and stony in front of a linear, pure palate. Flavors of lemon-lime, peach and nectarine are just right, moderately minerally and fade away with clarity and style. Drink right away.

    Fleshy aromas of melon and passion fruit introduce a rock solid palate that's pithy and round. Flavors of citrus pith lend bitterness to core grapefruit and passion fruit flavors, while the finish is briny and tastes of citrus and green fruits. Drink this Verdejo right away.
