Pale in color with a nice crisp nose. On the mid palate the wine displays some lovely grassy notes along with some nice pink grapefruit. On the medium length finish the wine displays some nice crisp acidity and some nice lingering mouth grip. I paired it with crab and shrimp ravioli and it went well. A very food friendly wine. I quite enjoyed it. I would give it an 88+ which for the price is quite good.
