Wine Critic: “Oak nose, light and smooth with hints of lemon and grapefruit on the palette. Smooth finish!” - D.J. (April 2020)

My Thoughts: Today I am drinking a white wine from California. If you noticed anything different, you’d be right! This canned wine caught my eye at the local grocery store. This is my first time trying wine from a can. This can does not indicate a vintage year nor the region of California. I have some mixed feelings but going in with an open mind. First impressions: better than expected but still disappointing. I did not have high expectations going into this can but it is way too buttery and there were some hints of oak. However, the oak felt artificial and sweetness did not help with that. The flavors are complex but not ones I enjoy too much. I don’t think I will be trying this wine again.

I give it an 68/100.
