Vintage Cellar Review: 89 Wine Enthusiast " Zesty and clean, with pure grapefruit and passion
fruit aromas. It’s charged up but perfectly balanced, with bright, focused
citrus and pineapple flavors. Lemony acidity keeps the finish rolling, then
throw in some chive and fresh greens and you have a spot-on Verdejo."
My Review: A lovely golden yellow color with citrus and melon aromas to the nose. The Verdejo had a much sweeter smell than the Grillo. A crisp dry taste accompanied by grapefruit and other citrus fruit overwhelmed my palate. I don't think I would purchase this wine, but I didn't mind the taste.
