Winery review: "This vintage of Dog Point is unabashedly green without being overwhelming so. There’s plenty of fig and melon fruit to provide support for the garlands of cut grass, tomato leaf and fresh herbs. The texture, as usual from this venture, is silky, while the finish is long and vibrant. " - 90  Wine Enthusiast 




My Review: I really enjoyed this white wine! The wine provided a earthy, grassy smooth smell, while the crisp taste showed tones of sweet fruits, slight vegetable, earthy taste and spices/herbs. I could not determine the exact spices, but they gave the wine a clean, but bold and flavorful taste. This was one the of the first white wines I really enjoyed, but I feel as though i don not know which food to pair it with. If i were to guess, I would guess some sort of fish to go with the spice flavors in the wine,

I did not taste this wine with any food.
