Lori Kilmartin WSET3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Who says you can't pair a white with steak? My Carne Asada Steak Bowl was a great match for this white blend from Pillitteri. The juicy sweet mango avocado salsa that topped my bowl of rice, steak and charred peppers and onions brought out the Mango in the wine.

The Mango and tropical fruit was predominant on both the nose and palate, along with some citrus and minerality. The wine is off-dry but there is a nice balance of crisp acidity to counter. There was also enough body to stand up to the seared steak!

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

This is a light, but aromatic blend of Vidal, Riesling, Pinot Grigio and Gewurztraminer. Aromas of white florals, pear, and peach. Just slightly off-dry, with medium+ acidity, ripe fruit on the palate, and just a hint of a mineral note on the finish. A lovely afternoon patio sipper, or enjoy with light seafood dishes.
