Winery Review: Hints of spearmint and minerals on the nose and ample ripe-apple and honeydew flavors on the palate add up to a substantial and well-balanced wine. Bright acidity lends a tangy undertone. 88 Points - Jim Gordon
My Review: Immediately I get a tangy and acidic taste - almost sour. It's dry and heavy on the tannins. I can definitely get a very green or ripe apple taste, but besides that I don't get much of any other fruit. The concept of minerality is confusing to me, but I think mineral is a good way to describe this wine. I did not pair with food, probably would try again.
