Winery review:  This blended wine has an aroma of spring flowers and a taste of light citrus.
Additional winemaker notes:  I picked up walnut in this wine.  There were low-fruit flavors, it was very watery.  My friend described it as the "Keystone Light of wine."  I would agree - this one was not my favorite.  I did not try it with food.
