Review:
Notes of melon, peach, and pear mingle among allusions of buttered popcorn and coconut cream on the nose. A sip reveals flavors of peaches, pears, and honeydew that flow into elements of buttery oak and creamy vanilla. A reasonable combination of butter and fruit with a solid acidity, it's not bad for under $10.

Review:
Aromatics of green apple skin, melon, and citrus fruit intermingle with suggestions of grass and minerals on the nose. Fairly crisp, flavors of passion fruits, honeydews, and grapefruits take shape on the palate, with accents of flint and wild grass. With a fresh acidity and lively character, fans of dry, refreshing Sauv Blancs should check out this bargain.

Review:
Notes of lime peals, nectarines, and green apples mingle among suggestions of minerals and citrus blossoms on the nose. Flavors of key lime, stone fruit, and apple emerge on the palate, accented by whispers of wet stone and white flowers. A crisp acidity (and just a hint of sweetness) makes this an ideal food wine. Pair it with your favorite Chinese take-out seafood dish.
