"I think this is so underrated. Yes it's in a can but it is delicious. I take this camping and on day trips in the summer time. It's light sweety and refreshing. I love the bubbles and the cute pink can. All of this brands wines are fantastic. Highly recommend will buy again" -Jessica C. from Influenster.com

My Review:
The aroma of this wine smelled oddly like sweet cream butter. It was a similar scent that kettle corn gives off as it is popping. I was expecting the flavor to be a similar buttery flavor, but instead it gave me a very sour/tart flavor. It is high in acidity and there was a citrus lemon flavor. It was also semi-sweet to my palette, which also gave me star fruit flavors as well. It had a very fizzy mouth field with all of the bubbles.
