Winery review: "This wine packs a deceptive punch.  And that punch tastes of apples, pears and quince, with an appealing herbal note that helps it pair well with salads and other light fare.  Don't drink it too cold, or you might miss all the fruit." - Washington Post (June 2010)

My review:  This wine tasted a bit bitter to me.  It had a little heat to it and was rather sweet.  It had a pretty strong fruit taste to it -- perhaps citrus (lemon)?  It was light and refreshing.


I tasted this on its own without food.
