This 2012 Moonstone Savagnin shows a bright, pale straw color. It is an aromatic wine with a nose that features tangerine, orange blossom, fresh pastry, pear and white peaches. The Moonstone Savagnin is a deliciously zesty and punchy wine with pears, melons and citrus fruits all evident in the front to mid palate. The palate is a two-fold experience: characters of Italian Pinot Grigio pedigree, with weight and texture and then the back palate is all racy and Riesling-like, with wonderful acidity.
