Personal Review: This was another bottle that my friend from JMU had me try while I visited this past weekend. He said he got this bottle of wine for his 21st birthday from his sister who I know very well and know that she has good taste in wine as well. When I first smelled the wine, I immediately smelled how sweet it was and I got an overwhelming sense of peach (obviously LOL). When I first tasted the wine, it was a little bubbly, definitely tasted like peach, and there was another flavor that I could not describe except for that it was also a citrus fruit. I narrowed it down to lemon and my friend said I was right. I really enjoyed this bottle of wine and I might have to get my own soon.
