Mellow and dry profile in which the flavor and the finish meld together, with plenty of the richness of the rice evident.

Very pale straw-yellow. Saline aromas of squash and white pepper. Suave on entry, then spicy and distinctly firm-edged, even tight, in the middle palate, with a juicy, spicy character and rather subdued flavors. I find this less pliant than most of these examples yet still nicely fine-grained and high-pitched. Made from natural spring water rich in minerals.
