A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: Perfect balance. Satisfyingly dry yet with a hint of riesling's insistent sweetness, this is light and fresh, with smiling green apple and lime lifted by tart acidity. It's a grand match for grilled pork chops or a cheese board and should cellar well for five to seven years. Score - 90 (Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail, Oct. 13, 2015) Price $ 17.95
