Winery Review: 91 - Beverage Testing Institute (August 31st 2016)
"Brilliant emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of brazil nuts, creme fraiche, and kiwi and starfruit with a silky, lively, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and an effortless, engaging, medium-length watermelon, yellow apple, and clementine finish. A delicious, artfully balanced soave with a great range of fruit flavors."
My Review: I was unable to pick up on any specific aromas or flavors in particular with this wine though it was excellent overall! The color is an old gold straw and smells of a mix of soft tropical fruit with some lactic aroma like butter. The taste is very similar to the smell though after a minute or so the wine takes over different parts of the mouth: the soft fruit gives way to a more full fruit followed by sweetness and then acid in that order. Every aspect of the wine was balanced low though there was moderate acidity when it came through. Too complex for me to talk about though I'm told it is a good example of a Soave: would recommend the buy as it is a wine you could probably find more depth to with each sip besides the fact that decent Soaves run typically cheaper ($7-15). Would buy a bottle if I had the money to spare.
Tasted without food.
