Very pale straw hue with aromas of peach and apricot, and a light touch of citrus at the end.
Palate--Lively first impression on the tongue with a slight effervescence. Flavors of stone fruit, which is nice but lacking the vibrant acidic structure that punctuates this great grape. A touch flabby.
I had a Trader Joe's (microwaved) frozen Fiery Chicken Vindaloo and this wine pulls it off tamping down the super hot palate of the vindaloo. This is why wine pairing matters! Just for kicks I also had a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon and it only added to the fiery presentation--ouch!
At $12 this is just "ok" but St. Michelle does better.
