Light golden hue with aromas of sweet vanilla laced with lime and green apple.
Palate--Off dry, but more dry than "off" with a steely mid-palate and citrus notes and a quick finish.
This Alsatian blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer is a tad disappointing not because of the wine as much as my expectation that it would be a touch "sweeter" to pair with my Asian cuisine tonight. I think it will "work" but I do not think it will be an enhancement to the meal.
I paid $16 for this at a European specialty shop in rural Maine. It's not at all substandard, i just had different expectations. That is my fault because I should have known that as al Alsatian creation it would be bone dry more than anything. So, it is good wine so raise a glass!
