The 2011 Ness Blanco is very similar to the 2011 Alma, which is no surprise, as it is the same blend. Attractive notes of guava and beeswax on the nose are followed by a ripe, smooth, tropical-tinged palate that needs more acidity and tension on the finish. Drink now. The Ness range of wines, produced at the Casa Illana winery, are all kosher. Importer: Royal Wine Corporation; www.royalwine.com
