Wine Review: This wine was clearly our favorite wine at this years Worcester Wine and Food Festival. This pale yellow colored wine opens with a light oak and butter light bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, rich, and creamy with tasty lemon custard and ripe pear flavors with infused light oak. The finish is dry and fades away nicely. We thought you could pair this beauty with scallops wrapped in bacon or a cedar plank grilled rainbow trout. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This wine displays a pale gold color with green reflections. Aromas of pineapple, sweet white corn, and spicy Asian pear combine with notes of fresh nuts, barrel spice and hints of ginger. On the palate it balances medium acidity with integrated oak and a lush texture revealing layers of pineapple, pear, lemon cream pie, honeysuckle, and spice.
