Stinson VIneyards 'Wildkat' - Rkatsitelli - Monticello

This is a skin-fermented Rkatsiteli from Virginia. The color is medium gold, reflecting the skin contact, and its aromas are nutty and honeyed with a lilt of vanilla and ginger. Mild tannins grip the mid-palate, but the wine lacks bite overall, owing to its soft acidity. It reads mostly as a muddle of savory honey, almond, and something like roasted Asian pear.
