OSJL Location: Medford, MA

OSJL Price: $9.99

Average Price Elsewhere: $18

Tasting Notes: Light straw color, nose of pineapple, cranberry, orange rind, honeysuckle. Smooth full but not cloying mouthfeel; good sweetness, but acidity hits before sweet and balances nicely. Taste: Orange juice and cherry, orange rind, green apple tartness then a medium-short finish of canned pineapple, orange juice, and honey with orange rind bitterness lasting a bit longer. Definitely a hint of petrol and aromatics at the end too. Nicely complex, tasty. Overall summary: delicious, full and rich white with a lot of interesting flavors to pick out. Will get more to age.
