Shop/wine critic/winery review: 
    A delicious and fresh blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris. Light aromas of fresh fruit and delicate white flowers start your journey, followed by crisp flavors of stone and citrus fruit. A well balanced acidity on the dry finish ends this French blend beautifully.


My Review
    The wine presents a clean mildly gold color. The wine is very floral and fruity on the nose with some hints of honey. Upon tasting, the wine is a little floral, a little spicy (like the spices in a Fall Woodchuck if you've had one), carries a notable lychee flavor, is a little sweet and fruity, and carries a hint of honey. The flavors and components of this wine seem well balanced to create a very pleasant experience. 82/100
