\nElectric pink in color with aromas of juicy strawberry, watermelon and peach and accented by floral honeysuckle. Dry with a medium-body, round mouthfeel and vibrant palate of nectarine, red cherry, tangerine, tropical papaya and vanilla creme. The bright acidity creates a lively and clean finish.<\/em>
