$11 -- TJ Points = 84

I popped this bottle open after finishing off another bottle with bolognese sauce.

Greener in the glass than in the bottle, but maybe it was just the lighting. It seemed more pale yellow in the bottle. Anyway, the nose reminded me of peach blossoms and pears. It tasted of peaches and melons, but really only faintly so. The acidity was more in check with this wine, and thus it seemed better balanced than the Ruffino Orivieto Classico I'd just had. A better wine, but not significantly so. A decent enough simple Italian white, but there are better wines out there for $11, let me tell ya.
