Winery Review: The quality of the vintage shows through in this wine, which is being produced in ever-increasing quantities. It's plump in feel, marked by ripe fig and melon flavors, with hints of grapefruit and nectarine. Drink now. - 88 Points  - Joe Czerwinski

My Review: The first word that I could think of to describe it was crispThis white wine is on the drier side, and although it is slightly fruity it really doesn't have a sweet taste. I definitely get a melon taste and it's a bit tangy from the tannins (kinda acidic/punchy) - I personally wouldn't say it's plump. It tastes nice chilled, and I drank it without food. Would drink again.
