You'd expect greatness just from the name of this wine! Light gold. Fresh nose of lemon zest, and lime peel and crazy jalapeno pepper stuffed with nougat. Lots of weight on the palate with a viscous and oily texture. Medium plus acidity is suprising given the weight of the wine. Finishes with slight bitter clay-like minerality.
$40
B- : Solid wine, but wouldn't buy again at pricepoint, wanted to score it higher because of the kick ass Medieval, triumphant looking label.
Paired with Linguine and Bodega Bay Clams. Not an ideal pairing, the pasta needed a crisper white.
