Winery Review: “This enjoyable white has aromas of hawthorn and ripe white stone fruit. On the refreshing palate, bright acidity accompanies yellow pear, apple and citrusy notes.” - KERIN O’KEEFE – 87 – Wine Enthusiast Magazine

 

Wine Folly: Primary flavors include “white peach, lemon zest, cantaloupe, raw almond, and crushed gravel”.

I couldn’t taste any other the primary flavors mentions but I could smell citrus / orange which is a bit similar to lemon zest.

 

My Review: At first smell, I was not excited try this wine. It honestly strongly smelled of cat pee, with a bit of citrus and orange. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. This wine was very smooth. It was primarily dry with a sour finish, and had a strong pear and grape flavor. Overall, I would say this was a good wine but nothing particularly exciting.
