Blackstone is not a superior brand, but one of those that you can fill a party with at an easy price. It's your low-cost, everyone's okay wine that can fit the budget of just about everyone. It's unpretentious, doesn't overdeliver and doesn't underdeliver either. I picked this bottle up on a whim, and was delightfully surprised at my first sip.
The nose is definitely floral and the taste gives you a combination of muted citrus and a little but of pear-ishness. This wine is easily drinkable by anyone who isn't looking for the best, but also anyone who hasn't started to develop their wine palate. It's a great introductory wine and can still be perfect with salads, grilled chicken, spicy chicken, seafood and pasta.
