Emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of yellow apple, green tea with lemon, white flowers, and blanched almonds with a round, crisp, dryish medium body and a tingling, delightful, medium-length finish that shows notes of bruised peach and browning apple. Smells like the fruit was oxidized in production and not bottling. A standard and inoffensive white wine that somewhat resembles Pinot Blanc.

About
Pinot Blanc
Pinot Blanc is a white wine, made from the eponymous grape; top examples are produced in California, France and Germany. Sometimes referred to as a "poor man's Chardonnay," Pinot Blanc has flavors of apple and pear and is quite dry; some are made in steel tanks, while more full-bodied versions are aged in oak.

Enjoy these wines upon release and over their first three to five years; pair them with most seafood or lighter poultry dishes.
