In Vino Veritas Session 5 (MIT): Not very aromatic - lots of alcohol on the nose, small amount of tropical fruit (pineapple) and spice - not promising. Alcohol obvious on the palate, which is a little bitter, quite sweet and with not enough acid. Pretty cloying. Not *flawed*, just not good. Poor effort. A shame - I would want an American-French hybrid like Vignoles to do well (much as Vidal does in these parts), but not this time. 250 cases, 12.4% residual sugar, 10.8% alcohol, $23 / 750 ml.
