Bottom of the Bottle:

While I appreciate a good white wine less focused on fruits, this came with a bitter bite and an after taste of dried fruits and vegetables that I could not get use to. Other reviewers have described this wine as tasting like asparagus and green figs, holding off-dry lemony flavours and balance. I'm not certain if balance works, as there is this prominent bitterness to the wine that I can't help but over-focus on. I agree with lemony but not so much the off-dry. Off-dry signifies sweetness in there and I do not come across any sweetness in this wine. If asparagus means unripe or overripe, bitter asparagus then I could agree with that description to some extent. I don't know the flavour of green figs but I don't see ripe figs in this wine at all. Overall, this could be a descent wine for someone else, just not me. 

BOTTOM OF THE BOTTLE (BOTTOM LINE):

It took me awhile to understand this wine but I'm finally getting an idea of its character. It doesn't taste of fruits at all, it tastes of the peels and skins and rinds of fruits mixed with grassy and herbaceous elements. I like the idea of this wine. I do. It has unfathomable potential in today's cuisine world geared towards the exotic of eastern spices and lighter components. This wine posses the exotic. Many say that wine was not meant to pair with eastern dishes and spice. But an exotic dish needs an exotic wine. This isn't a wine for lovers of the fruit flavours of wine. This is for those who seek something else. I saw a review for the 2011 white beach house blend and in this review by the Good Wine Guru it was said best with "the best description of the 2011 Beach House White is “green”. There’s plenty of citrus on the nose and in the mouth, but a hint of herbaceous notes comes through on the finish, and while that’s certainly not a bad thing, I also know it’s not for everybody. "
