• Stephen Tanzer review 90 points: Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence. 
• My review: This wine has a very pretty light peach color that was very interesting to look at as I have not seen any other wines like it in color. On the nose there is a very distinct fruity aroma of peaches and apricots. There is also a sugar smell of honey that mixes with a light melon to remind me out the outdoors on a bright spring day. On the palate I am hit initially with the taste of acidity but after that there is a very sweet honey flavor. Several fruits are also there, the taste of honeydew and melons are present. On the mid palate there is a citrus feel of lemons, limes, and oranges. But the finish is very nice and crisp with the taste of wildflowers with the orange making it have a nice full bodied taste. 
• Food Pairing: I did not have any food with this wine.
