Shows off fruit aromas with some citrus notes. On the palate tropical fruits, medium acidity on short finish. Pass, better SB's out there in similar price range. Tasting Sample.

Very light, with hint of sweetness and pear flavor. I really did enjoy drinking this wine

A light-colored, light-bodied, and savory blend of grass and acid notes with a puckery grapefruit finish.

If you must, go ahead-but drink it chilled because at warmer temps grassy becomes barnyardy. Tropical and citrus, yes but very thin. Finish is nonexistent.
