Tasting-"Prime Bume Garganega"

Name: Prime Bume 
Variety: Gargenega/ Soave 
Year: 2014
Region: Soave 
Country: Italy 
Price: $6.95 


Vintage Cellar Review 91- Tastings.com: "Pale color. Fruity, floral minerally inviting aromas of passion fruit, white grapefruit, spice poached pear, and papaya with a lean, racy, bone-dry medium body and a smooth, complex, long lemon, passion fruit, raw hazelnut, and wet stones finish with no tannins and light oak. From the tantalizing nose full of exotic fruit, citrus and minerality thru to the long, crisp finish, this soave can seamlessly go from cocktail hour thru to vibrantly flavored dishes."

My Review: I did not smell much from this wine. The most scent I could get was slightly floral and the color was clear in the glass. The taste was a bitter orange with a hint of pear and granny smith apples. Overall, I thought that this wine was very bland and would not purchase it.
