Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Great Value! Treat this terrific little white like a red: Don't chill it too much, then let it open for a half-hour to develop its enticing tropical fruit flavors. It's dry, but the fruit gives an appealing illusion of sweetness. Great as an aperitif or with light seafood dishes." The Washington Post
My Review: That aroma was delectable. Something like raspberries and strawberries mixed together in a blend with powdered sugar on top. There was a bit of citrus in the nose as well, particularly grapefruit juice. The taste was a bit acidic, lemony in the flavor, but sweet as well. Not quite like a sparkling lemonade or anything, but very delicious! A bit of a full sour after taste, light on the tongue, very nice. I would definitely purchase in the future although I did not purchase anything today.
This wine was tasted at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
