Winery Review: 87 Points, Stephan Tanzer Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.

My Review: It smelled very fruity and a bit dry. It was not very good at all. It had a very odd aftertaste that I couldn’t really place.
