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.

Pear with a touch of amaretto and apple. A little too sweet for me but for $8 at the local TJs, not bad.

Not great but decent for it's price point. Minerals, pear & honeysuckle on the nose & lots of green apple and residual sugar on the palate. It's definitely lacking some acid to counterbalance the sweetness and finishes a little flat. Nonetheless, at $8 a bottle, it's a great warm weather lunch wine and would do great with spicier dishes.

Balanced. Nicely grapes. Would be perfect with cheese, Indian food, and other good bits.
