My Review: I had no trouble at all detecting the fruit notes in this wine! I noticed flavors of kiwi and pineapple right off the bat. The wine is pretty acidic, and left the mouth a little dry. The nose caught me off guard, though- I picked up on buttery notes, like buttered popcorn. I thought the nose and the taste didn't line up, but it doesn't matter to me. This was a tasty wine.
