Pear dominates the palate, noticing white pepper and possibly menthol/eucalyptus

J:smooth light citrus flavored. Fairly standard SB. 9.0
B: could easily drink every night. Smooth. Less "bumpy" than the chablis. Overall like it. Possibly would drink over pinot. 9.5
N: there is no smell. It is probably the single most unimpressive wine I've ever had. Overall net neutral. Not impressive but not disgusting. I want to say mean things but I don't want to hurt its feelings. 8.0

Not as good as a NZ but enjoyable. Crisp and light.

Another good wine from MD. Not as good as New Zealand but great wine.

Pleasant aromas of grapefruit and tropical fruits, nice acidity, slight lemongrass... Finish slightly off putting and lingers not in a good way
