Got this wine at a smoking good deal. After trying this with substantial food and aperitif type foods and nothing at all, this wine is more delicate than it seems. Nose is popcorn kernel, Asian pear and honeydew. Body of this wine with rather good acidity throughout. Hints of peach and pear and buttered popcorn with nice salinity. This wine doesn't seem to really hold up to significant fare, yet went very well with Brie cheese and crackers. Interesting to see how it would have gone with buttered popcorn! I think this one might mature over the next couple of years. But not doing bad at all right now.
