Wine Review: This golden yellow dessert wine from Long Island is a fine after dinner choice. This wine opens with a very aromatic ripe green apple like bouquet with hints of iced tea. On the palate, this full bodied wine is rich, creamy, viscous, and displays sweet honey flavors. This wine is a nice finishing wine that would pair well with dessert or sliced green apples. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This nectar of the vine presents an intense fruit driven nose of orange blossom and honeycomb. The palate shows flavors of sultanas, litchi nut, and toasted oats. The residual sugar and acidity compliment one another intermingling harmoniously. Remember to swirl, swirl, swirl as this wine is a cornucopia of flavor!!!
