Date Reviewed: 6/21/06

Color: 2.5 (of 3)

Note: A very clean looking straw color with a cheerful glow. Very nice.

Aroma: 5.5 (of 7)

Note: A floral scent with sweet honey tones. But it seems a little one-dimensional. It's a little disappointing.

Taste: 8.5 (of 10)

Note: Semi-dry with elements of sweetness and tangyness at the same time. Sounds confusing, I know! There are lots of flavors here - a little fruit, a little fig, a little flower, a little honey, vanilla and oak. It's all swirling around at once and it works well. I had to sip it several times before I decided I like it, but I liked it.

Total: 16.5 (of 20)

Food: I had it with grilled salmon and salad. The salmon is dabbed with olive oil and grilled and then broken up into chunks and laid on top of a green salad. A nice, light summer meal. The Mount Hermon White really complimented the salmon nicely.
