  6/3/2014 - Chris Reppert Likes this wine: 90 Points

  Nose: Honey, white peach, creme brulee and floral aromas
  Palate: Honey and caramel on the front, apricot and an interesting toasty note on the mid, not overpoweringly sweet, heavier mouthfeel than other VA dessert wines.
  Finish had a spicy hint of capsaicin.

  Virginia Wines at Marcel's (Marcel's - Washington, DC): Honey and almond past on the nose. Very honeyed on the palate, with apricot jam and almond paste. I like the acid here, keeps it from being cloying.
