In the glass
- Nose
- Green apple, pear, and lemon. Fresh, and easy to name. Orchard fruit plus lemon, with nothing else crowding them.
- Palate
- Light, fresh, simple, and mildly tart. The tartness is gentle. It keeps the green apple from tasting sweet, and it does not bite. Pear is the softest of the three and sits between the apple and the lemon.
- Finish
- Short, clean, and lemony. The pear does not survive it. Lemon is the last flavor, and it leaves without sweetness.

How wine-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
A straightforward light white. The fruit is easy to name. The close is lemon, and it does not linger.
The wine
Simple, and cleanly so. Green apple, pear, and lemon. Light, fresh, mildly tart. A short lemony end. There is no second layer, and the wine does not need one to be itself.
Green apple and pear, fresh, easy to name on the first pass. Lemon is already there, not waiting for the finish to introduce itself.
Light in the mouth. Fresh, mildly tart, simple. The tartness is gentle. Pear is the softest of the three, and it fades before the end. Lemon closes it, short and clean.
Well chilled, it is a straightforward white. Recognizable fruit, a little tartness, and a close that gets out of the way. The pleasure is how little it complicates the apple and the lemon. A second sip is the same three flavors in the same order. Drink it when you want refreshment and do not need the wine to develop. The lemon at the end is enough of a signature. Green apple, pear, a mild tartness, and a short clean close. Light, fresh, and simple the whole way through. Green apple and pear up front, lemon at the close, mildly tart in between.
