| Notes | "Boasting handsome forest-green packaging, the Tascante 2020 reveals a lean, almost transparent appearance with a dim spot of golden sunlight. The wine puts big emphasis on its mineral side with gorgeous definition and sharp tones of crushed oyster shell and aspirin, followed by faintly fruity and citrusy tones. In fact, more than fruit, the bouquet veers toward white flowers and jasmine, with a hint of white pepper. At the moment, it would make a great aperitivo with delicate crab cakes." (Wine Advocate) | |||
Additional Notes "Aromas of honeysuckle and tropical fruit lift out of the glass along with a whiff of wet stone. The tangy palate offers ripe white peach, Meyer lemon and a hint of banana before a savory mineral finish. Crisp acidity keeps it energized." (Wine Enthusiast) "This fresh, light-bodied white offers peach skin and Asian pear fruit flavors that show pretty elderflower and ground ginger accents, with a mouthwatering, stone-laced finish. Drink now. 2,500 cases made, 750 cases imported." (Wine Spectator) |
