Violetstardom's Review:

Pure grapefruit on the nose. Definite grapefruit flavors up front with other citrus flavors on the midpalate. Once it warmed in the glass I noticed a minerality on the backend, along with citrus rind. Good acidity and complexity for the price. Would definitely drink again.

Violetstardom's Review:

I pretty much drank the whole bottle. The flavors aren't coming to mind at the moment, as it was a few hours ago and I've drank others since, but I do remember the wine was very smooth and subtle, with an interesting complexity. A lemon/lime component definitely. I liked it a lot, will definitely buy again.Edited on 8/4/09: Drinking this right now for the second time and it tastes 95% like a pink grapefruit and 5% granny smith apple juice. Great acidity, mouth-watering. Still like this wine. Maybe not as complex as I had initially remembered, but tasty.

Violetstardom's Review:

My first Verdelho ever. Very aromatic on the nose. Tropical and melon flavors with a full almost perfumy mouthfeel. Good acidity overall, keeps my interest. Not necessarily worth the money, but I do like it.

Violetstardom's Review:

A little tight on the nose. Nice texture. Not too acidic or over-oaked. Unable to decipher specific fruit flavors, almost floral.

Violetstardom's Review:

Fruit forward, not too dry on the finish. Drinkable house red.

Violetstardom's Review:

Smooth, light. Not overly acidic or alcoholic. Very drinkable on its own.

Violetstardom's Review:

Gorgeous color. Very floral and soft fruit on the nose. Perfect balance of fruit, floral, sweetness, and acid. Not sure how complex it is, but I love it anyway.
