Wine Review: Spring-like nose of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine and rose petals. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along with fruit flavors and plenty of body. Well-balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a long finish.

Personal Review: This wine had a much lighter aroma than Oxford Landing but smelled very melony, and citrusy with a slight hint of spice. The smell of melon was not deceiving as the wine also tasted very melony. Again, there was not a very strong taste on the palette. I did not try this wine with food.
