Wine Review: Yellow straw in color with an inviting aroma of freesia along green apple highlights and some added layers from oak. Full-flavored, balanced delicious wine with some apple and pear notes and a hint of toasted oak.

My Review: I thought the smell was very acidic and it almost burned my nose. It had a slight Budweiser smell and it was almost a little smokey too, maybe the oak monster coming out. I assume since it was in the plastic container that that was where the plastic/Barbie smell came from but I can’t be 100%. Definitely tasted like cat piss, vinegar, and it was very dry… no fruity taste at all. Super cheap wine, super cheap taste.
