I think the aggregate Delectable scores are misleading. Drinks more like a fresh Bordeaux blanc with Semillion, rather than the Colombard blend it is: very evocative & passion fruit nose, & on the palate lemon curd, more passion fruit, grapefruit essence, all wrapped into a solid acid spine. Verve & focus for about 10$. Feels true to type. I could imagine giving this to a Chardonnay lover to expand their palate. Medium light body. Really respect Mary Taylor for these selections, & their price point.
