  Tempting dark golden honey colored Semillon that's reaching the end of it's drinking
  window. Creamy texture with smooth edges, this is still a great choice for pumpkin
  pie, carrot cake or just on it's own. Delicious carmel apple comes to mind with an
  apricot spice laced, persistant finish. This was one of my favorite late harvest
  wines for the last decade or so. Drink up.

  Dark, rich caribbean rum color with a syrupy consistancy. Dried apricot hits the mark
  to start, followed by plump golden raisins with a sour apple edge. Long, detailed
  aftertaste on this late harvest Semillon. Great with pumpkin pie or cheesecake.
  It's lost a step since last tasted in 2005, but still remains elegant and sophisticated.
  Time to drink this one.
