Professional Review: A delicious and fresh blend of Reisling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer. Light aromas of fresh fruit and delicate white flowers start your journey, followed by crisp flavors of stone and citrus fruit. A well balanced acidity on the dry finish ends this French blend beautifully.

My Review: I unfortunately did not get a lot of smells out of this wine. I got very small amounts of rose, specifically yellow rose. In terms of taste, it didn't provide me with much either. I was surprised to find it was dryer and had more tannins than most of the other whites I've tried. This was dry to the bone and an much tannins as I would expect from a red. I had this wine at a tasting without a meal.
