Tastings.com Review:
Pale color. Fruity, floral minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice poached pear, and papaya with a lean, racy, bone-dry medium body and a smooth, complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no tannins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus and minerality thru to the long, crisp finish, this soave can seamlessly go from cocktail hour thru to vibrantly flavored dishes.

My Review:
This more yellow wine smelled exactly like super bubble gum! If I had to be even more specific it was like the bubble tape that I grew up eating which was completely unexpected. There was also a little banana flavor on the smell. When tasted, this wine was a huge let down. There was no flavor practically and it tasted very watered down. It is smooth but too tart to have a flavor. There is a little bit of banana in the aftertaste, but overall not strong flavor. This was tasted without food.
