Pale strawberry colored, with a watery sheen (12% ABV). The nose has medium (-) intensity aromas of red grapefruit pith, strawberry, red cherry, tangerine, fresh green herbs, and white blossom.  The palate is barely off-dry, with medium (+) acidity, and a medium (-) body.  Medium intensity flavors of red cherry, strawberry, tangerine, grapefruit pith and a lovely, airy, floral note.   The finish is medium in length- crunchy with great acidity coupled with red fruit flavors.  The residual sugar (1.5g/l) is just noticeable and really balances out the rather high acidity, making the wine taste fresh and zippy.  It’s a great aperitif and would pair nicely with a salmon salad, shrimp cocktail or a hard-cheese board.  I like it.  88 points and for $17- it gets 4 stars.  An interesting blend of 52% Tinta Cao, 32% Vidal Blanc and 16% Roussanne that will drink well until 2028.  Salut….
