Winery Review: Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon, and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body. Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish.
My Review: This wine was very dark in color. It smelled like a horse stable, which was a little off-putting. It was kind of fruity. It had earthy tones, and maybe a little Menthol-y. It was full bodied with a lot of berry and dark fruit taste, but wasn't too jammy. There was a raspberry overtone and lasted a while on the palate.
