My Review:

This wine had a fresh and citrusy flavor and aroma to it. I was only really able to pick out the scent of grapefruit and grass and it had a pronounced lemon flavor. It was not that sweet, and had more of a sour flavor in my opinion. It has a flavor similar to when one bites into a lemon and the tartness makes my mouth water. 

I tried this wine with pepperoni pizza as well, and the pizza changed the flavor to a more darker flavor and a bit more bitter. I personally don't think they pair well with one another. I can see eating a lighter meal such as a salad or chicken would go better with a wine like this.
