This was such a fantastic blend. Not the most depth which is why it isn't 90+ points, but it had some very interesting flavors never the less. I wish I had bought more than one bottle

Saturday Walk Around Tasting at The Gourmet Shop, Columbia, SC 6/11/2011 (Gourmet Shop Columbia SC): This is one of those kitchen sink blends where the sum may be better than the parts. The nose and the palate are a cornucopia of floral and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. Almost every one of the flavors we like from the blending grapes appear somewhere in the profile. It is sweet, maybe a little too much, almost syrupy. The overwhelming initial flavor is fresh peaches, but there is lots more to follow. We get pears, cantaloupe, mango, pineapple, honey, and a lot more. There is probably not enough acid to balance out all this fruit, but with this much variety and character, who cares? I think should be served very chilled. Tastes fine without food.

I think same vibe as previous notes. This is new to the MLCC store and a pretty decent price 14$. Aormatic nose with floral and white fruit notes. Palate is a little creamy/syrupy - but not overly sweet, just a little off dry and not off putting. Similar notes on palate and is lighter on the acid. I prefer a little more zip in my whites, but this is decent.

Sweet, almost too much so without the acidity to back it. Lots of riesling, with some chard on the finish. Probably more going on, but hard to suss out in a busy restaurant.
