Critic Review: "A fresh scent of green pears greets the nose. What follows comes in a light, crisp citrus vein, supported by a rounded mouthfeel. A refreshing wine for immediate drinking. - Anne Krebiehl, MW"

My Review: This white wine was nice and fruity. My initial impression was that it was very refreshing and light. The smell was very fruity, and I was expecting it to be sweeter than it was. My first taste was fairly bitter, but as you tasted it became sweeter as the fruits really came through. It was a very refreshing wine, and I enjoyed it a lot. I think it would pair nicely with some crackers or perhaps a harder cheese.
