critic/Winery Review: The inviting apricot preserves, honey, butter, and
roasted almond aromas of this semi-sparkler pull you right in. It’s on the
sweet side, with stone-fruit flavors kept alive by decent acidity. The palate
bubbles and tingles and maintains its balance. Fine as an aperitif or with
dessert.
My Review: This
was the last wine I tasted of 5, so I wasn’t able to pick out a lot of
flavors. The first thing I tasted was
the sweetness. Now it wasn’t as sweet as
a German Riesling but actually a nice touch of sweetness. It would be great as a dessert wine or for
someone who is just starting to drink wine.
I am usually not a fan of dessert wines, but with lower sugar content
than expected I enjoyed it.
If food present, did
it change the flavor: N/A
Drink Up!
