This wine is pale yellow in the glass. The nose has lots of lemon, lime, and tropical aromas held together with minerals and a touch of salinity. The flavor package disappoints. Rather than bright, zingy fruit, we get a rather dull, savory palate. The taste of apricots does come through and the finish leaves traces of hazelnut. It is an odd wine, but not one that is completely off-putting. It pairs nicely with a plate of beans, but there are probably better choices.
