Vintage Cellar review: Light and young, this is a straightforward but enjoyable selection
that would be an ideal match for light fare such as grilled chicken
salads or fluke. Apple flesh, nectarine, and sweet citrus oil aromas
and flavors appear on the nose and palate, while the short finish is
infused with a flavor of green melon rind.
My Review: On the nose, this wine was sweet and light. It felt like inhaling a fresh breeze, not harsh at all. As for the taste, there was a slight shock of alcohol to the back of the throat on the first sip. It also tasted slightly floral, like light roses. I also got a red apple flavor in the wine, as well. Like its smell, it was very light on the palate as well. Overall I thought this was a good wine, but not the best I've ever had.
I did not have any food with this wine.
