Shop Review: Dusty aromas of unripe melon and apple are pyrazinic. A bit of spritz greets you on the palate, while flavors of green citrus run heavy and pithy.

My Review: Upon first smelling this wine, the citrus was very noticeable and refreshing. After the initial taste, I was able to detect the melon flavor but not quite the apple. As I continued to sip this wine, I did not find the citrus flavor to be heavy like its review stated.  Overall, I found it to be a smooth and enjoyable wine that I would drink again. 

I did not have any food while tasting this wine.
