A simple, yet unique value-priced wine. Nothing like a white Côtes du Rhone wine (from France) as the name might imply. However the white ‘Goats is an inexpensive change of pace from many under-10 dollar wines. The light straw color masks a ‘Bang!’ of peach and apricot scents in the glass. Considering its high alcohol content (13.5%), it seems only medium-bodied. Peach and grape (yes grape) flavors dominate followed by a smooth, yet brief finish.
