Critic Review: Soft and creamy, although with just the right Vinho Verde bite, this is a crisp and clean wine, boasting light pear and pink grapefruit flavors. Off dry and very fresh.
My Review: This wine smelled like lemons to me. It was very smooth and refreshing. It tasted a little like lemons also with a bit of an acidic bite to it. It had a very light body. It had a bit of an oaky flavor as well. I liked this wine.

Critic Review: 87 Points, Stephan Tanzer. Greenish gold. Subtle aromas of mint, lemon and orange, with a hint of honeysuckle. Dry, understanding and focused, offering clean citrus and melon flavors and slow-building sweetness. Finishes dry and brisk, with an echo of lemon. As usual, this is an outstanding value.
My Review: I did not really like this wine. It smelled of oranges and honeysuckle. It was very dry. It tasted citrusy. It had a heavier body than the first wine.

Year: Non-Vintage
Price: $7.95
Critic Review: 75% Grenache, 25% Tempranillo. Aged 3 months in American Oak casks. Ruby red in color, with creamy aromas of earth and cherry. Flavor turns toward deeper and darker black cherry and raspberry on a medium framework. A subtle earthiness underneath the bright fruit adds some depth and complexity.
My Review: This smelled like cherries. I could pick up the oak flavors when i tasted it. I was not the biggest fan of this wine either.

Critic Review: Flint and mineral notes accent pineapple and lime aromas, while on the palate, the wine shows plenty of ripe, citrusy fruit flavors. Tangy acids on the long finish provide balance.
My Review: This wine smelled like limes with a hint of floral aromas. It was very smooth and light and was a bit sweet. It tasted very sweet and fruity. Overall this was my favorite wine of the tastings.
