Mild apple and citrus aromas lack vitality and freshness, while the palate is pithy and round, but with no real core identity or flavor. Melony on the finish, with a weak pulse. Very basic; just o.k.

Light in color, with slight, tart, pickled aromas. The palate is sharp-edged, with sour-leaning pie cherry and citric flavors. Scores points for freshness but loses ground with its thin, hollow structure and light, tart flavors.

Right off the bat this fails to impress. The nose has a chemical-like burn and weird, unfamiliar aromas. All this portends an industrial-tasting wine with odd infiltrations of butter and green vegetables. Barely acceptable.

Smells strange, as if juniper berries were blended with tomato and weedy red fruits. Scratchy and herbal in the mouth, with game and other oddball flavors. Finishes gummy and confected, with a final blast of green herbs and weeds.
