Wine Enthusiast Review (89 points): "A fresh scent of green pears greets the nose. What follows comes in a light, crisp citrus vein, supported by a rounded mouthfeel. A refreshing wine for immediate drinking." -Anne Krebiehl, MW

Review: On the nose I got mostly a citrus smell accompanied with pear and a little bit of honeydew. However, these pear and honeydew flavors did not stick out to me upon tasting.  I found this wine to be quite acidic at the finish which was disappointing since the beginning and mid-pallate were smooth. 

I did not have any food with this wine.
