Vintage Cellar 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. Best enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats, mild to medium-strong cheeses, seafood and a great partner for spicy food as well.

My Review:  This is a great light wine.  I initially tasted hints of pear out of an assortment of fruit flavors.  This has a great full and rich body.  I really enjoyed how balanced it was, there was no heat and it was smooth,  I would definately buy this in the future, especially in the summer with fish or oysters.  

I did not taste this with food
