Varietal:  Fiano

Brilliant pale yellow with hints of green. Bouquet of ripe tropical fruits and citrus aromas. Medium-bodied and dry with elegant balance. The fruit and citrus aromas on the nose evolve on the palate in an array of fruit flavors. 

Serving Suggestions: Enjoy with chicken and turkey entrées, fish and grilled vegetables. (wine makers notes)

This was a nice light wine aromatically.  Hints of sour green apple and other citrus really made the base of the aromas.  It felt light and crisp on the nose as well.  The green apple really came through to the forefront on the first sip.  It was a strangely sour wine.  More so than I think any that I have had in a while.  There was a little heat towards the end of the and almost a fizzle kind of feel on the mouth.
