Pena de Pato Vinho Verde 2006

At first site, this wine boasts of what Vinho Verde is all about, sweet gentle light green with enough vibrant bubbles to take down a party. The nose follows her cue to release gentle green aromas of lime, green apple, honeydew rind and raw almonds. The tip to the mid-palate, the wine is crisp and dry, displaying just a hint of green pear. Although characteristic in style, the wine lacks in showing a full spectrum of rich lush green flavors. Not bad with the goat cheese however! 2.5/5 August 10, 2007 | Link to this note

Pale yellow in color with a restrained nose. Not very vibrant with some peach and light floral notes. Med-High acid with green apple flavor and gravel notes. Very boring, though much better with a little food. A perfect example of "do not consume without food!" August 10, 2007 | Link to this note
