Critic Review: Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence. -90 -Stephen Tanzer
My Review: A pretty peachy-orange color. The nose was tangy and fruity with red berries. I also caught a distinct hint of fish aroma, although I know that sounds very bizarre. Citrus and melon flavors came through on the palate. There was a bite of acidity and very little body. A light wine, and I did not experience a lingering aftertaste as suggested in the above review. I enjoyed this wine but it was a bit too acidic for my palate. I would like to try it again paired with food.
I tasted this without food.
