It’s another blush wine, this time from Ste Genevieve with a nice yellow gold color that has some depth. This relatively low alcohol wine (11.5%) has a moderate sweetness that doesn’t overpower the drinker leaving a pleasant fruit taste to savor. The wine appears to be fairly well balanced and has a nice finish. It is better than the Beringer white Zin reviewed here earlier. Although I wish it had better floral/fruit notes to report on, overall a nice wine to drink for its price. A better nose might have earned this wine a high rating.
