Wine critic review: “Mild aromas of peach
yogurt and dried pineapple with a soft, fruity medium body and a tangy apple,
cream, and nectarine finish. Very tasty and a lovely patio wine.” – Beverage

My review: I was
unbelievably excited to try this wine. After the quick realization that the oak
monster is out to get me, seeing a wine with “Unoaked” on it come through my
line at work was a blessing. I had just finished working 3 days in a row, for a
little over 7 hours each day, and I felt burnt out and wanted a crisp, fresh
wine for the evening. As soon as I opened and poured this wine (which had a
really nice, soft cork – super easy to remove), I noticed a slight fizz as I
poured the wine. On the nose, I detected hints of lemons and pineapple. When I
tasted the wine, I noticed it felt like my tongue was being burnt on the
finish. It had very citrus-like qualities – like an orange on fire. It felt a
little too hot for me, not as smooth as I wanted it to be.
I tasted this on its own
with no food.
