Critic Review - "Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence." -- Stephen Tanzer, 90 Points

My Review - On the nose, this wine has a light, airy quality and a nice bouquet. The taste of orange zest is muddled by the overwhelming acid component of the wine. With heavy tannins, this wine tastes very tart. For the price, I was underwhelmed. 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
