Acceptable however this is not going to be a repeat buy. Drink up with grilled burgers.

Very light body pinot gris. Good sipper, I think most food would over power this.

This had a nice light oak tone after the aromas of tropical fruit. I enjoyed it.

2009 was in my cellar for a year, had it with a steak. Impressive, more polised than I remember. Nice wine for $13, wish I had another.

This was far better than I expected from the reviews. Very dry with integrated wood and cherry flavours and various herbs on the nose. Loved it with pasta in a red sauce with meat and wild mushrooms. I will cellar the second bottle for a bit longer yet, it has legs.

I think the critics are a bit harsh on this one. Easy drinking, butterscotch and tropical fruit. A bit "commercial" maybe but we enjoyed it. Bought three more on sale.

I really liked this actually. Full-on blueberry and other dark fruit. Recommended with lamb meatloaf or roast beef. Pretty close to a 90 point wine for me.
