Bright golden yellow color, Aromas, and flavors of orange zest and orange custard-style yogurt with a satiny, vibrant, spritzy, off-dry light to medium body and an even, medium-length finish with accents of tangy orange sorbet. A balanced and flavorful Mimosa that offers a delicious brunch time treat in a convenient package.

Smell: my first thought was it smells like a weakened version of chardonnay, smells like a fake orange, and kinda burns your nose a little when you smell but not much
Taste: first taste is alcohol and the alcohol overpowers the orange taste, with a hint of vanilla because of how smooth it is
My Review: 6.5/10
Would've given it a 7 but the taste is lingering and I don't like that, gave me slight heartburn
Has a smooth/creamy feeling in my mouth
I can tell it has a more than 5% alcohol percentage
Overall, I could drink this on its own but I don't think I would choose to because it's not my cup of tea but better than most wines I've had
