From an auction "Mystery Pack". Pretty sweet with very little acidity to accompany it, so it came off as flabby. No one was interested in drinking more than the small taste that I poured, including myself, so I dumped the bottle. This is well past the drinking window, so no official score - I'd probably rate this in the mid-70s based on this bottle.

Pale straw color. Honey and tart apple aromas. On the tongue it gives way to pineapple and mineral. I would classify this as off-dry, as it is not overtly sweet. The finish returns to the apple hinted at on the nose. Fairly crisp. Not a bad price overall.

It's okay. Sweet peaches, tropical fruit and some minerals. Definitely off dry. A tinge of acidity provides the necessary backbone but it lacks structure. A little flabby.

One of my favorites from a tasting where 6 wines from Chateau Ste. Michelle and Dr. Loosen were presented. I didn't love it quite as much over the course of 2 nights, although I'd still say it was very good. On the nose and the initial taste it was great, but there was something off on the finish that I found distracting. Overall, quite enjoyable and I would buy it again if I saw it at a good price.

Sweet and not very complex but still appealing with a clean, slate-y feel to the white fruit and lightly floral flavors.
