My Review:
I thought this wine was pretty good! It was light yellow in color. There was fruitiness to it, like green apple, but it was a bit tart. It has a sweet smell to it as well.
Critics Review:
This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples,pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.

My Review:
I didn't pair this wine with any food. The smell was very fruity, like strawberries. It was sweet at first, but dry, although it wasn't very strong when it came to the alcohol. And I thought the bottle was ADORABLE!!!
Critics Review:
100% Barbera Fresh with aromas of strawberries, cherries, and rose petals, this an ideal wine with shellfish, salads, chicken, and appetizer

My Review:
I didn't really like this wine very much. It was bit too smoky, almost burnt. It had a plum smell to it.
Critics Review:
Made predominantly from Paso Robles grapes, the wine is full bodied and silky yet robust, with aromas of black cherry and plum and a palate of blackberry, raspberry and blueberry jam laced with vanilla and toast.

I did not like this wine, and I didn't pair it with any food. It had a very earthy taste to it.
Critics Review:
100% Monastrell 4 months in new American oak barrels Bright ruby-red. Dried cherry, pipe tobacco and rose aromas, with a hint of woodsmoke. Sweet and fleshy on the palate, with blackberry and cherry flavors complimented by licorice and a suggestion of dried herbs. The cherry and smoke notes repeat on the finish.
