Shop Review: Pale color. Fruity, floral minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice poached pear, and papaya with a lean, racy bone-dry medium body and a smooth, complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no tannins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus and minerality thru to the long, crisp finish, this soave can seamlessly go from cocktail hour thru to vibrantly flavored dishes.

My Review: This wine was very light in color, almost clear. Aromas of cantaloupe and grapefruit were apparent to me. It had a dry taste but was very smooth. I also seemed to taste a wet rock kind of flavor at the finish. This wine also had a finish that lingered on the palate, but was crisp at the same time. There also was an aroma that reminded me of rotting fruit or maybe fruit that was overly ripe. I had this without food.
