Review:

A lovely nose of lime, gooseberry, honeydew, and fresh fig aromas greets the senses. Mellon, gooseberry, and grapefruit flavors meld with suggestions of candied banana and dried figs. A vibrant acidity gives the wine plenty of life but in no way overpowers the fruit. Those who enjoy crisp, mouth-filling Sauvignon Blancs will love this offering.
