My review: 
This white wine was a pale color. It had a very sweet and fruity aroma. Smelled of apricots and citrus, with a light floral aspect. I thought it smelled very similar to some other reislings I've tried. It tasted fruity and was rather sweet. I don't usually like overly sweet wines as they can get a very sugary, grape juice taste. The sweetness of this wine was nicely balanced by the acidity and the fruity flavors stood out more than the sugar. I was able to try this wine at Chateau Morrisette and it went nicely with fruit and cheese. It would be a good wine for relaxing on a nice day.
