 In the glass a clear very pale yellow.  Hints of pear, citrus, grass, minerality, honey tea, and white pepper on the nose. On the palate, wow I get some high acidity that is kind of harsh, but this finishes with a smooth buttery flavor that lingers on your tongue.  Dry with a long finish.   Pair with shellfish or some brie cheese, as it will handle the fatty foods well.
