I like Sauternes, which boosts my rating, but this is only fair. Lacking the thick, syrupy and complexity of a better Sauterne, but still a pleasant sweet dessert wine.

Admittedly, I am partial to syrupy, sweet Late Harvest wines, but this was quite good. It was definitely very rich and too sweet for one of my companions.

Sautern on the nose, Cali on the palate. Definitely unctious with emphasis on syruppy honey and caramel flavors over fruit, however, possesses enough fruit and botrytis notes to create a very delicious and inviting wine. Served w Foie pate and it was excellent.

As good as it gets out of CA. Drinking at its apex right now, but, can certainly go 4 or 5 more years.
