Winery Review: "This bright white wine is reminicent of a warm, breezy summer evening sharing oysters on the half shell and a good laugh with close friends. It’s made up of integrated flavors of peach, melon, citrus and a finish that awakens the appetite. There are hints of vanilla spice, honeysuckle, and lemon zest that come together with a crisp and refershing finish."
My Review: I wasn't crazy about this wine, but it wasn't exactly bad. It had a very alcoholic smell for a white blend (13.5% alc) with some grapefruit and lemongrass hints, giving it some freshness but not enough to balance it. The taste was very citrus-y and floral, but had a surprisingly dry finish. I think more sugar would have helped this wine a lot.
