"Ovum's take on Aligot, shows restraint in terms of alcohol but not flavor. White grapefruit and wet granite aromas in no way prepare you for the wine's savory green olive, white button mushroom and lemon butter flavors. Look for softer acidity, with a rich mouthfeel. Try this wine with a plate of freshly shucked Yaquina Bay oysters. ‡ Michael Alberty"
