Nice but inexpensive dessert wine. Medium to dark golden yellow color. Full of honey, apricot and grilled peach on the nose and palate. Acidity is not that high which is a bit of a detraction to its longevity, not that it is over the hill, but it is certainly not going to get appreciably better from here. Enjoyable with my daughter’s lemon and blackberry birthday cake.

Very nice juice, and with a refreshingly different flavor profile compared to other dessert wines. Grenache Blanc and Roussanne provide lots of interesting flavors and aromas, and the sweetness/acidity balance is very good. Thumbs up, especially given the very modest price tag.

Luscious. Bright amber color, aromas of honey, ginger and burnt orange all appear on the palate as well. Acidity keeps the considerable sugar from being cloying. Persistent finish.

Medium to dark golden yellow color in the glass. Wonderful apricot and honey on the nose and the palate and a hint of nuttiness on the finish. Perfect accompaniment to my wife's caramel cheesecake. Lots of bright vibrant acidity yet rich in texture. Should last a long time in the cellar and improve with more of the nuttiness coming out with age.

Slightly oxidized but very honey focused this is a unique and lovely dessert wine. Good acid balance, 13% RS and 13.7% alcohol. Not Sauterne but damn nice.
