Montinore Estate 'Borealis' NV Review

Aromatic and off-dry, this white blend from Oregon mimics the waxy, spicy wines of Alsace. Candied strawberries and peach mix with lavender and hand soap on the nose, while the sugary, medium-bodied palate leads from juicy white peach tangerine into spicy herbs. If it had a touch more acidity, it would be infinitely more poised.
