Review: 

Since this wine is so cheap and not super well known, I had a hard time finding a review of it.  This being said, on citymarket.com, the product details of this wine states that it tastes like "honeydew, nectarine, and pear".

Wine Folly:

This is the first Australian wine that I have tried.  When reading Wine Folly, I learned that the Australian wine industry constantly ups their technology (pg 202).  There is a ton of variety in Australian wine, but a lot of their wine can be bottled in other places, such as this one which was bottled in California. 

My Review:

Honestly, I did not enjoy this wine, but I enjoyed the experience since I got to drink wine with my boyfriend for the first time.  We just started dating so enjoying wine together was a very fun experience.  This particular wine was really bad though.  Potentially because it was very cheap, but it got the job done.  It was also very strong with a 12.0% alcohol percentage!!!
