2012 Vintage - Colombard (70%), Gros Manseng (30%), 12% ABV. Very light, soft, and pleasant, low alcohol wine. Citrus, Tropical fruit, slight waxyy short finish. Flabby, Not a brisk and snappy Colombard dominate blend. Neutral food wine. Very nice for $7, at Whole Foods. Can do a lot worse for the price.

Paired with pork tenderloin. Not too dry, not too sweet. Very drinkable.

Not bad. I like the smooth citrus taste. I drank it chilled.

Jan 19th, 2015Zesty and crisp flavor that drops very quickly. Weird waxy residual feel after swallowing and grass (think crab grass or freshly mown lawn) aftertaste. Sadly you get what you pay for with this one.

Jan 18th, 2015This is the 2012 which I bought for a cheap cooking wine...and am startled to be enjoying a glass. Citrus, peach, pineapple, and white pepper on the nose leads to a medium body, easy-to-drink white wine. This wine is like a ripe-fruit Sauvignon blanc with lots of tropical notes but none of the grassiness (that I passionately hate!). This is an excellent wine considering the price.
