Jane LeFresne reviewed this wine as follows:

Why I tried this Wine: it was a gift, but all wines deserve to be tasted. Plus, the label is fun and energetic, unlike most wines. This label had a little edge. I mean, who hasn't ran into the wine store and bought a bottle because of the label?

Tasting Notes: pale yellow in colour with a greyish green hue.

A mix of sweet aromas including: tropical fruit, citrus, peach, pear, apple, apricot and most dominant melon. Also on the nose, hints of honey.

Flavours are similar to the aromas tropical fruit, apple, honey and citrus.

The mouthfeel is watering but smooth.

This fruit forward light to medium body wine has a long finish of lime and honey.

Would I buy this wine again: It wouldn't be my first choice, but a be a good wine to drink with friends over some blue cheese.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
