Wine Review: "Stunningly aromatic with tropical and citrus notes - a thread of lingering fresh ripe lemon and elegant minerality."
My Review: I had a glass of this during a dinner out at Coastal Flats with my family. It was paired with a Mango Chicken salad, which I thought complemented the fruity tones of the salad well. On the nose there was lemon zest, tangerine, and a slightly silvery-metallic aroma. By itself, there were hints of lemonade, grapefruit, and hints of grass. It was a light wine and paired well with the salad, that had cuts of chicken and pecan in it. The citrus flavors on the palate accented the salad topped with grapes, cranberries, pecans, and ginger vinaigrette. A successful food pairing!
