Wonderful nose of lemons and citrus. Worked well with light fish dish, but also drank nicely with fresh fruit appetizers and by itself. Almost candy-like on the palate, with a Jolly-Rancher sort of melon flavor. Not overly complex, but well balanced, with nice acidity and just a hint of smokiness through the medium finish. Had a lively and pleasant feel in the mouth. Excellent value.
