Winemakers Notes:
Spring-like nose
of fresh white peaches, pears, green apple, green melon and hints of jasmine
and rose petals.
On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity along
with fruit flavors and plenty of body.
Well balanced, this wine displays a pleasant freshness with citrus notes and a
long finish. Best
enjoyed in its youth either by itself, or as a wonderful partner with smoked meats,
mild to medium-strong cheeses, seafood and a great partner for spicy food as
well.
My Review:
This wine was pale in color and had a very flowery smell. When I tasted it, it tasted like I was running gaily through a field of honeysuckle on a bright Spring afternoon. The flower taste was overwhelming. It was a sweet wine, but not a fruity sweet. There was not much on the after pallet, as well. Not much body. I would not recommend this wine. Unless it was to a bee. Then I would tell him to buy it by the bushel.
