Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Pale color. Fruity, floral, minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice poached pear, and papaya with a lean, racy, one-dry medium body and a smooth, complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no tanins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus and minerality thru to the long, crisp, finish, this Soave can seamlessly go from cocktail hour to vibrantly flavored dishes." Tastings.com
My Review: I have so many mixed feelings about this wine! The smell was out of this world. It was like I stepped into Jamba Juice and ordered a strawberry-banana-blueberry smoothie. It had a great sweet table wine taste to it, a tad bit acidic with a taste of pears, but not overpowerful in how sweet it was at all. It was complex, but I have to admit there was a slight burn it made in the aftertaste. Like lemons...yeah definitely lemons. Maybe it would be good with chicken or pork. I want to like this so much but I would definitely have to e in the mood to want something sour that puts a ting in my mouth a bit. Other than that-fantastic wine!
This wine was tasted at Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
