IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Sweet pear, tonic water and gin-like botanicals show on the nose of this bottling. There is a compelling sizzle to the palate, with guava, orange blossom and apple syrup flavors that are leveled by lively acidity and a crushed rock tone. 

The color is a pale butter yellow. The nose is sweet and interesting, melon, hard lemon cough drops, honey, peach, tangerine, and tart apple. The nose is not shy on this one. This wine has a firm mouthfeel and while it is sweet, it is nectar sweet, like a ripe juicy plum and not candy sweet.

It tastes of a stew of navel orange, lemon/lime, orange blossom honey, followed by a little Altoid’s spice. The mid-palate adds peach, apricot, and tart apple. This wine packs a great deal of flavor, the acidity does not get in the way of the flavor profile but does not the edge off of all the sweet flavors on display.
