Tasting - El Cortijillo Verdejo

Name: El Cortijillo
Variety: Verdejo
Region: La Mancha
Country: Spain 
Price: $10
Review: Scents of pumpkin, pyrazines and general murkiness lead to a dilute palate. Fruitless flavors of onion and lime finish bitter and with notes of green peppercorn.

My Review: Verdejo couldn't be more correct, this is a "green" tasting wine. From top to bottom, this wine taste like a "yellow-green" color. The flavors are flat, tasting of grass and leaves, finishing with an acidic splash that lingers. I had this wine alone, but damn if I didn't want to go eat some lawn clippings and chase windmills just to sense the full flavor.
