Wine Review: This wine over the last couple of vintages has been a really terrific performer. This golden yellow wine opens with a wonderfully pleasant floral aroma. On the palate, this wine is rich, creamy, very concentrated and displays very ripe sweet pear like flavors. The finish is refreshing and delicious. This would be a great wine to finish your evening with and to serve with a sharp cheddar cheese platter with sliced green apples. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: A ripe apricot nose starts off this rich, fruity dessert wine and continues through to the finish. Slight hazelnut overtones mix with pineapple to create a truly unique taste. The finish lingers, but also lifts, leaving only the fruit flavors with a hint of sweetness.
