• Shop/wine critic/winery review: "From the local Italian word for “to work the soil,” Runcaris represents an easy, fresh expressionA delicious and fresh blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris. Light aromas of fresh fruit and delicate white flowers start your journey, followed by crisp flavors of stone and citrus fruit. A well balanced acidity on the dry finish ends this French blend beautifully." 
• My review: This wine has the strong smell of floral and earthy components. When first tasting this wine, it tasted very acidic and a bit bitter. The body of the wine was not too full, it was rather short. The finish was soft and it was easy. 
• I had this wine at wine tasting with bread and cheese.
