Star-bright in appearance, this pale, straw-colored wine has a subtle nose of straw, pumpkin seeds, lanolin and yeast. The palate shows strong lees notes that also contribute a touch of tannin to the palate. Although modest, the finish is prolonged by the perky acidity. It should develop some interesting tertiary character. Drink this medium-minus bodied wine now through early 2016.
