Name: Protocolo Blanc
Variety: White Blend: 70% Airen and 30% Macabeo
Region: San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Laguardia
Country: Spain
Year: 2009
Price: $6.95

Critic Review: 87 Points, Stephan Tanzer
Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understated and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes
dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.

My Review:  This wine had a greenish yellow coloring, with a citrus aroma.  It was mostly dry, but with a slightly sweet finish.  It was very light in body, but I could detect a hint of hotness coming through. I did not try this wine with food.
