Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

Mango notes with lovely lifted white floral note through the centre. White and green melon on the finish. Crisp, celan and refreshing. This wine spent 12 weeks on the lees. Only 273 cases were made.
