This was also a white wine like the sauvignon blanc, but I liked this one much better. When I smelled it, it was much more inviting than the sulfurous smell I had just had. It was very fruity but had bit of emptiness to it. I recalled this being a sign that it had been aged in something metal. I find the smell very refreshing. The taste was refreshing as well. There was slight tartness in the wine though that made it seem sharper. It wasn't the kind of sharpness you find in a grape fruit though, more like an apple. I liked thinking about the food last time so I gave it another try. I'd have it with a sea food again but something with more flavor like a lobster or another shellfish. It had a nice smooth flavor that could act as a back drop but not enough to over power so it needs something with a bit more flavor. Over all I found it nice but lacking in experience. It was like having a glass of milk: sure its sweet and refreshing but dammit I want a cookie.

What Others Say: The link here takes you to a great website where there is an in depth, and much more affluent, review of many rosemount wines. They attest to the fruityness and the smoothness of the wine with a bitter bite at the end. They say to have the wine with a puff pastry. Maybe I could have a cookie with the wine instead.
