The very pale straw-tinted wine has a floral bouquet which carries with it a tangerine scent that also appears in the flavor profile. A flinty note balances the fruit with some minerality. Acidity is nice, but not too racy, perfect for pairing with those spicy cuisines.

Trader Joes has some good wine values and this is one of them. Nice balance of sugar, fruit, acid and alcohol. A great way to be to celebrate the melting of the ice and start of spring. Worth buying again, food friendly.

A Trader Joe’s pre holiday purchase. A nice wine, a bit disjointed between structure and richness or acid and sugar. Never the less great Wine for the price.

This wine isn’t bad, but it’s just not dry enough for me. Not “sweet” in the generally accepted sense but too sweet for my palette. Good value for price though!

Last year's vintage. Let it sit around. Lots of crisp pear with lemon and grapefruit flavors. Perfect on a summer evening. Even more so after mowing the lawn in 90-degree heat. Was $7 at Trader Joe's. Not sure if the 2016 is out. If it is, stock up.
