$16.00, Retail. This is a WS 90 pointer. Disclaimer: Yes, I bought this because this is a WS 90 pointer & it costs $16.00. I thought to me self: WS 90 points, $16.00 - why not try a bottle of 2?!? Well, a solid enough bottle of wine. Light on the body, taste, & fruit. Pleasant, crisp, lemony & pear with a touch of vanilla. I liked the crispiness & the summer-type fresh taste. This would actually do better in the summer. I have another bottle that I will open on a hot summer day. The bottle is pleasant enough yet uninspiring & a bit dull. Rating: 84 points, not bad for the money. But, one can do better for the price tag when it comes to an after dinner dessert wine type beverage. My TNs (as compared to the WS TNs) below: "Wonderful aromas of peaches, wild strawberries and pears. Full-bodied, with good acidity and plenty of ripe fruit on the finish. Impressive. Drink now. 1,665 cases made." I think we tasted 2 different bottles of wine (sort of speak?!?).

Well, I've been drinking this for a few days now. I am still trying to find WS's 90 points. To me, it was an 84 pointer & still is an 84 pointer. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.
