Extremely pale straw colour. Youthful, ripe apple nose with some hints of honey. Fairly dry, medium-light to light bodied, slightly honeyed, spicy, ripe, lemon-melon-apple flavours with a tangy, clean, lingering, unoaked, mineral-tinged finish. A bit lighter in structure than the recommended/best buy 2009 (**+) was released on June 26, 2010 at $17.95. |

TASTING NOTE: Pale lemon, almost platinum in colour with aromas of pear, spice, lemon rind, mineral and a floral element. Off-dry and fairly fruity, but also immediately freshened up with laser-precise acidity. Lots of citrus and mineral tones at play too. Mosel style meets a warm Ontario vintage. Cellar it 2-4 years, or enjoy it tonight with grilled salmon or tilapia with a spicy rub. (Vintages panel, Sept. 2011) |
