| Likeness | A clean California white in a light frame. Citrus, green apple, and a small floral lift stay intact, and the close is crisp rather than juicy. The likeness is the aroma. The body is the limit. | Fruit suggests white wine, but the light body and simple palate give it little structure or depth. | Research record |
