| This pretty wine has a balanced, bright fruitiness that coats your mouth and carries through to the back with a crispness that ties everything together. I always think of the wine when I order Chinese take-out or when we cook barbecued ribs on the grill at home. Its mellow fruity flavors complement spicy dishes so well. |
