Winery Review: Ripe Concord pear and an intriguing mouthfeel combine in this highly drinkable light white. This is enough weight to support and a pleasant hint of savoriness as well as depth.

My Review: I tried this wine at the Vintage Cellar with friends. This wine had a fruity, acidic floral bouquet. It was sweet smelling. There was a spicy, peppery taste with pears or green apple with some citrus. I could only take sips of this wine, but that was okay because it was dry, oaky and had a long finish. I didn't try this with food, but think it would be much better paired with something.
