Winery Review: "Pale golden silver color. Bright floral aromas of peaches, raspberry
and honeysuckle with a soft, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a crisp, tart citrus and talc accented finish. A delightful sipper that is sure to please." Vintage Cellar wine notes

My Review: Probably my favorite out of the bunch! I really picked up on the raspberry flavors and enjoyed the fairly light taste of the wine, nothing overpowering. I don't necessary agree with the review labeling the wine dry however. I thought it was nice and smooth with a beautiful golden color. This was the first white wine I've ever tasted and was very pleased, might have to go back and buy a bottle!

I sampled the wine without food.
