Wine Review: "This is a soft wine with its creamy fruits assimilated into the tangy texture. There is plenty of acidity to give this wine its cool character as well as its citrus and green-apple flavors. Drink now." 85 Points (Roger Voss; Wine Enthusiast)
My Review: This wine was a light straw color with small bubbles. It smelled of several different fruits and veggies: green apple, pomegranate, and sweet potatoes. It tasted of apricots and had a pleasant fuzziness. The aftertaste was a strong green apple flavor. I drank this wine with my dinner, which was a meal from HelloFresh since I had gotten a free box to try from my boss. With their Mediterranean veggies, the wine's sweetness was cut and everything just meshed perfectly. The fruit flavors in the wine balanced very well the veggies and hardiness of the couscous in the dish.
