Trevor Sabourin rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Lime, red apple, peach, crushed rock, and hints of wax and herbs on the nose. Lemon/lime and tart red apple come through strongly on the palate, followed by substantial nuttiness and crushed rock character. Medium bodied and bone dry, with high acidity. Lime, crushed rock, and almond linger for quite a while on the palate.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

A light, fragrant, and refreshing,wine, with pear and apple on the nose along with some lemon zest. Similar flavours on the palate. Dry, crisp, and nice acidity.

Louise Wilson rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A bouquet of crushed rock, apples and lemons transition into flavours of white peach, green melon and lime. Medium bodied, with no obvious oak, and a dry finish. The mouthwatering backbone of acidity makes this a fantastic food wine. Pair with creamy chicken pot pie. At $12.95, a fantastic value. Enjoy through 2015. Tasted Oct 2014.

Jane LeFresne reviewed this wine as follows:

Some red apple and lime notes on the nose along with floral aromas and a hint of peach.

Flavours of apple and honey with a lasting acidity.

Valérie Dufour rated this wine as 79/100 with the following review:

Cantaloupe aromas.
A white made with ripe grapes. You can feel the alcohol.
A single note kind of wine for a very low price. Perhaps to serve with hors d'oeuvre when you have a large party.

Kristin Perrin rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Apricot floral nose
Juicy tangerine palate
Medium to full bodied.

Very pretty, but NOT SHY AT ALL!
