Critic Review: Fruit-forward and tangy, this light-bodied, snappy white offers flavors of guava, apricot, candied grapefruit zest and stone. Drink now. 20,000 cases made. 
-Wine Spectator

My Review: A light yellow color. Very fruity and sweet on the nose. I enjoyed the taste of citrus and grapefruit, but found it to be overwhelmingly acidic. Crisp and clean with no lingering aftertaste. I wish the guava and apricot showed more, as suggested in the above review, but I did not find these flavors as apparent due to the acidity. 

I tasted this without food.
