This was a good wine. Nice weight and rich feel in the mouth, well-balanced oak and acidity, and interesting mixture of citrus and mineral flavors. Extremely food-friendly, pairing well with both dishes. Next time I would like to pair it with raw oysters or steamed mussels.
Initially oily texture on the mouth with apple and tart citrus flavors. The mid-palate is dry with flint and maybe some nut flavors. It finishes a little sweet and fruity, with a nice length. Overall interesting from start to finish. At $12 it is a HUGE value.
