Winery Review: "Very clean, with lemon, mineral and honey aromas that follow through to a medium body. Shows vanilla, apple and melon flavors, with a medium finish. Lightly sweet." Vintage Cellar wine notes
My Review: On the nose I got a weird combination of yellow mustard and rubbing alcohol so I can't say I was particularly pumped to try this wannabe dessert wine. Very hollow and hot with weedy, dandelion flavors. Way way way way way too over the top sweet, the wine was chewy just because of its ridiculous sugar content, seemed more like corn syrup than anything else. Definitely picked ip on the honey flavors and it left a honey-esque feeling in my mouth too, that coated kind of "dog with peanut butter on the roof of its mouth" kind of thing. Light and crisp, prefect combination for for a white wine but out of balance with the sugar overload.
I sampled the wine without food.
