The label lists it as a medium sweet wine (just above the half way point on the dry-sweet scale) but it was not as dry as I thought it would be. Definitely more on the sweet side, which is fine, just not what I was expecting. It didn’t have much flavor, it tasted fairly watery but did have a nice and light apple flavor. I think it’s a good safe option that will pair well with most things because it’s so generic. Certainly not terrible, but I’ve definitely had better in this sweetness and price range. I believe I paid about $12.

Was craving a really nice crisp Riesling to drink while cooking thanksgiving dinner. This one read like a overly sweet sauv blanc and was too sweet to have more than one glass.

Nice and light, not too sweet, with lovely notes of peaches and apricots, exactly as described on the bottle!
