It’s a so-so wine at best. Not bad, but nothing special either. Good with dinner perhaps as the acidity will help cut through most light fare.

It has a nice, clear, bright but not a deep straw yellow color. There’s some acidity here some nice oak taste with a hint of sweetness (it’s dry otherwise.) The balance is OK and the finish short. Your taste buds are going to detect mostly a fruit taste, even if it is somewhat subdued. There aren’t really any off-notes, but there’s nothing spectacular, either.
