Strikingly spicy, with the scents and flavors of Bosch pears, this textural, racy wine has a bit of refreshing effervescence as well. Subtle traces of citrus, pineapple and Asian pear are woven through, and the bracing acidity sets it up well for richly sauced poultry or pasta dishes.——P.G.(10/1/2010)—— 90
