Acclaim
Slightly gold in color, with pungent, pure aromas of grapefruit and pine touched up by a whiff of flinty smoke. Round yet minerally in the mouth, with pink grapefruit and bright lime flavors. Long and tangy on the finish, with crystalline aftertaste.
— Wine Enthusiast, Dec 2005
Citrusy, melony, fruit driven...is a light to medium-bodied, crisp, refreshing, nearly bone-dry white...
