Cantaloupe, pear and a hint of apricot in the nose. Summer rain on cement, cut grass, white peach and apple skin. Wonderful in the mouth, lively acidity and fresh fruit, finishing with a touch of bitterness like a taste of orange rind. Fresh cut pear and white peach, with lemon curd and melon. Medium bodied with great structure and lush fruit. Should be a great pairing with white beans, grilled shrimp, baked chicken, pasta in cream sauce, etc.
