BUY THE WINE

Nicolas Belfrage: (cc: water-pale = 1; deep gold = 9) cc2. Clean, freshly laundered smell. Nicely expressed citric acidity backing up the considerable herby/minerally flavor package; a relatively straightforward wine with no great peaks, but very pleasant for a non-think drink. Dry and lean and very acceptable- 15

Marcel Orford-Williams: Somewhat neutral, smoky nose. Dry, clean, and fruity attack. Finishes a bit short, but properly made and attractive enough. More Grigio than Gris- 14

Joanna Simon: Very pale. Softly floral, May blossom, delicately creamy aromas. Verdant, floral, sweet-apple fruit on the palate. Lively, medium-bodied, off-dry. Fresh, wellbalanced acidity but fairly simple- 13.5
