Aaron: This has a mango, guava, and generally tropical nose. The flavor is crisp but a little wider than a brisk pinot gris. The light melon and shitake mushroom flavors were surrounded by tons of fruit making it pretty easy drinking. 89 points
Teri: This wine isn’t extraordinary but nice and the winemaker supports a good cause. There is apricot on the nose and the wine brings flavors of mixed fruit and citrus: apricot, pineapple, and lemon. Overall very refreshing. 89 points
Purchased from Kiona Winery Tasting Room, $20
Aaron: This was tasty. White pineapples and grapes with light green leaves. There’s a slight butter and citrus flavor, which is generally appealing and flowery. Pretty good. 90 points
Teri: Kiona’s Zeus – Version 2 – Is a verticle blend (multiple years together) which is why they put version numbers instead of a year on the bottle. The white blend has creamy flavors and good body. I taste Bartlet pear, peach, and pine nuts along with pineapple on the finish. Very easy to drink but rich and full. 90 points
Lot 18/The Tasting Room, $14.99
Aaron: White grapes and wet stones on the nose. Crisp and gentle flavors of tangerine, lemon, and white raspberry. This was mild and easy drinking. 88 points
Teri: Light flavors and a subtle nose. I tasted grapefruit and Meyer lemon along with grassy undertones. Long lingering finish. 87 points
Aaron: This is really nice and smooth but crisp like a sav blanc. I enjoyed the subtle melon and pineapple with a pleasant surprise. This is a good, solid bottle that’s easy to enjoy. 90 points
Teri: You will find tropical fruits along with some lemon on the smell. The wine feels ‘full” for a white (often I like to say these ‘drink like a red wine’). I enjoy the flavors of lime, peach, and some apricot with its crisp finish. Very easy to drink with nice complexity. 90 points.
