Nose:
Grassy; cat-pee; a little bit of gasoline, like two drops in the whole bottle, but still there; pool spray or perhaps ocean spray; some cream on the top; fresh motor oil; a very nice underarm smell; apple juice; baked suntan; kiwi, grapefruit, pineapple, a little bit of lime, and also lime leaves, and celery. The nose on the bottle, not the glass, exhibited other things, mostly that unmistakable odor of milk just turning sour, or perhaps buttermilk.
Palate:
Spritzy/zesty, focused on the tip of the tongue: alive and enthusiastic. Nice plush mouthfeel while still remaining crisp. Darcey and I are not too used to acidity, without the tannins as a balance (we favor reds), so it seems a little acidic, but we're willing to bet that the acidity here is just about right for this type of wine. A nice clean finish, though not too long, but again we are more used to reds.
This stuff tastes REAL. Not too fruity, a very nice muskiness, no fakeness, not sweet and very balanced from what we can tell. Perfect alcohol balance as I wasn't even aware of the alcohol. Back of the bottle says "classic gooseberries and tropical fruit," but we've never eaten gooseberries, and I did keep saying "I smell some kind of fruit in here, but not a sweet fruit!" Maybe that flavor-profile is gooseberries. Our first successful white wine, and this means a lot to us! We are so thankful to Gary Vaynerchuk at Winelibrary TV for recommending this wine, especially given its QPR, for we never would have found this wine otherwise, and this is the very first bottle of white wine that we have actually thoroughly enjoyed from first to last.
