Wine Critic Review - Wine Enthusiast - Rating: 89 points
Zesty and clean, with pure grapefruit and passion fruit aromas. It's charged up but perfectly balanced, with bright, focused citrus and pineapple flavors. Lemony acidity keeps the finish rolling, then throw in some chive and fresh greens and you have a spot-on Verdejo.

My Review - Peach, nectarine and pineapple were some strong scents present in this wine. I thought this wine would be sweeter than the last because of the smell and it definitely was, but definitely more balanced. It really tasted like a can of fruit in citrus juice. I did not try this wine with food.
