Critic's Review Bright, light golden color. Very aromatic nose of ripe apricots, sage, honey and a slight minerality. Medium bodied, sweet and fruit with flavors of apricots and tangerine. Well balanced acidity and medium finish with layers of sweet and citrus fruit.

My Thoughts This sweet, dessert wine was heavy all around with citrus and tropical fruits. The nose was highly aromatic with fresh pineapple and peach mixed with a floral aspect of apple blossom. Hints of jasmine and pear came through on the mid palate mixed with lots of sweet fruit flavors of apples and peaches. The finish was sweet with a little bite of lemon or lime.

This wine was not paired with any food.
