Critic Review: Light and fragrant, with pretty lime, grapefruit and elder blossom aromas and flavors that linger impressively on the extended finish. Drink now through 2013. -- Wine Spectator; August, 31 2009 (91 pts)
My Review: This wine was my first sample at the Vintage Cellar wine tasting closeout sale, and it happened to be my favorite of the night! I first smelled a crisp somewhat sour smell. I felt that my initial taste was musky, but after a few sips I could taste notes of fresh, citrus fruit. After reading the critic review, I now know that the flavor I couldn't quite pinpoint was grapefruit. I purchased this wine, and I am excited to see if my second taste is as positive as my first.
I did not taste this wine with food.
