Bananas in the nose - sweet like popsicles - and just a whiff of alcohol. Subtly oaked. A hint of tangerine. Expressive and scented. The palate is slightly sour given the inviting nose. Long in the mouth with good structure. Simple, but sound wine, reasonably priced. Flavorful though certainly not exciting, but a functional, crowd-pleasing New World white.
