My Review:
This wine had a very fruity aroma. I picked out the pronounced scent of lychee and a less forward scent of honey, or honeysuckle. After taking a sip of it, the lychee definitely transferred over into the flavor of the wine. It had a light, smooth feeling while drinking it and it tasted less acidic than other white wines I've tried such as Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is one that I really enjoyed as it was semi-sweet and refreshing. The flavor of Lychee is one of my favorites whether it be in a candy, soda, or in this case wine. I would definitely drink this again.
