Okay, so it would be great if I could totally dissemble this taste and point out each fruit that you're tasting, but this does remind me of some of the wonderful flavors in a tropical flavors pack of Starburst candy.

The price was right, and the wine has a nice sweeter aspect to it with a backbone primarily of pineapple and most like passionfruit. It's a wine that can easily be consumed sans food or with the right pairing. This wine is perfect for a drink at the bar, or even great with a Mandarin Orange salad or my favorite, the Jerk Chicken salad that you can get from Benjamin's down in Wilmington, Delaware.

The finish lets off nicely and stays with you for the better part of a minute, slowly showing you some spice in addition to exotic citrus.

This wine is a keeper.
