Still good and good buy, but it's not as good as usual. Maybe it's the vintage.

Beautifully crisp and refreshing. Perfect as a starter with Thai Appetizers. Very aromatic with some dried concentrated fruits. Exactly as I expecting it to be. This is just a consistent wine and certainly a crowd pleaser.

Fruity tart (reminds of apples), smooth, slightly sweet but only barely. Really good

On the sweet side, which I expected from a budget blend of these varietals. Acidity is decent. Lots of pineapple, with additional notes of clementine and peach. Easy to drink, but also a bit flat and definitely lacking in personality.

Nothing special. Actually this bottle the fruit notes were flat. Maybe an off bottle.

An interesting amalgam of arbor grape with a solid finish. Demands to be consumed with spicy food.

Nicely balanced. Crisp apples, long lightly sweet citrus finish. Delightful. Will buy again!

Great all purpose, easy to drink, inexpensive white with layers of expressive flavor notes, nice acidity, and a minerally freshness. We picked up a dozen to serve as a "go-to" white. QPR is amazing.

Some white flowers and peach on the nose. Pleasant peach, pear, and citrus flavors. Med+ acidity. A lovely inexpensive sipper.

Wife loves this. Good refreshing versatile white, though I lean toward robust reds. Will keep a bottle in the cellar.

Used 1 cup in a New England Clam Chowder, enjoyed a glass while cooking. Fragrant and spicy nose- blooming jasmine, pear. Quite delicious. Pear palate, dimensional, Russian pear candy. Outshines its expectation. Paired with the chowder.

Too acidic for me. Much too sharp. Nice aroma, though. Others may enjoy more. Won’t purchase again.

Still good but not as fragrant. Need to drink up.

Have to really hand it to these guys - a consistently solid wine at an easy price. It's not a wow wine, and it's far from dreck. Instead, it's a very lightly sweet blend that works well on its own, or with a wide variety of dishes. Something that's worth having around at all times, whether it be as a cooking wine, or sipping on the porch, etc. At < $13, it's a safe harbor, and then some. recommended+

pleasant sipping wine - slight tinny taste of Viognier. Pour ahead of drinking.

Good stuff Maynard. This bottle is more zippy than I remember. It is well chilled.

Served with Salmon. Delicious, fruity, almost effervecent. Spouse Endorsed.

Starting to fade a bit, and the distributor knows it because they are discounting this vintage in favor of the 2020 vintage.

Decent white wine with grassy earthy hints and a bit of sweetness from the viognier. Janie likes it! From Trader Joe's.

exactly as I remembered - Crisp, bright and refreshing. Some sweet aromas and flavors and really nice zesty flavors. I like this wine so may be skewed, and for the $10 price, it's a keeper for me.

Medium weight white wine with good acidity in mid palate. Found it decent with various white fruit notes but nothing special. Had hoped for more given the good feedback on it. But then I am more of a red wine drinker.
