Certainly a great value for $10. Easy to drink on its own, but great fun with salmon cooked with a cherry BBQ glaze and Mediterranean accompaniments. Fine clarity with a rose gold hue. The nose was muted, with pear, cherry, and apple and a hint of evergreen and fine smoke that, all together reminded me a bit of High Church communion wine. Of course, the palate wasn't syrupy, though -- just right with light acids and a dry sheen. Peaches, strawberries, and cherries are in the taste profile, and there's a bit more length than expected, which made it work with the foods above. Despite all this, it still feels a bit simple and lacking complex dimensions, but it's crafted with care.

Very pretty, with light peach, pear, and strawberry on the palate. Slightly prickly acidity. A crisp and pleasing summer wine.
