In the Glass
Appearance
Brilliant, light straw color.
Aromatics
The nose is incredibly floral with ripe peaches, pear, star fruit, melon, and pineapple with a balancing citrus zest.
Flavor
The palate echoes the nose offering a lush and ripe fruit core that is more tropical than the nose with lime zest and tangerine notes rising on the finish.
Intensity & Texture
It's certainly fresh and fruity with generous proportions without ever being heavy. It delivers a vibrant dose of acidity that keeps it fresh and ever so quaffable.
Cool Factor
Wines that are all about pleasure often get lost in the shuffle. Stop and smell the roses and drink fun and playful wines while you do it.
Value Grade
At around $15 it won't strain your wallet to offer a great picnic and happy hour white to your lineup of summer drinks.
Analysis
It's a unique blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, and Orange Muscat (see if your friends can guess). This is not a wine to sit and examine it's a wine to drink and enjoy.
How to Enjoy
Serve well-chilled at the end of the day as the perfect happy hour wine. Drink it solo on the patio or pair with light snacks.
