•Shop/wine critic/winery review:Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body. Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish.
•Your review: This wine was grown from grapes 3000 feet up in the Andes mountains, giving it a soil characteristic. On the nose there were notes of vanilla and lemon, very reminiscent of Lysol wipes. IT tasted as I would imagine Lysol wipes to taste with a stronger alcoholic flavoring but with still prevalent notes of vanilla and lemon. It was definitely a heavier, syrupy white. I have written in all caps in my notes "DISLIKE" and that I would rather clean my counters with this than have to drink it again.
