Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Fruit-forward and tangy, this light-bodied, snappy white offers flavors of guava, apricot, candied grapefruit zest, and stone. Drink now. 20,000 cases made." Wine Spectator
My review: This wine had a nose of a fruity, fresh crisp apple and maybe pears-definitely heavy apple, though. A very simple wine, but probably my favorite out of the five that I tried during this particular tasting. It had a medium body and was quite acidic and kept the apple taste all the way through. Not bad at all and would be great on a warm spring day, but probably wouldn't run out to go buy it or anything.
This wine was tasted at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
