April 20, 2022 - charming and ready to drink
December 22, 2021 - Getting some petrol on the palate that I do not remember before. Very tasty.
October 4, 2021 - I liked this before. I love it now.
January 5, 2021 - Wonderful light caramel and vanilla notes on the nose. Some gardenia too. Great smooth flowery butter on the palate. Not too sweet, just right!
November 26, 2018 - Just lovely, with melon and peach flavors and enough body to pair well with ham. Slightly waxy texture adds interest. There is nothing at all off-putting about this wine, and I agree with prior reviewers that it should continue to provide pleasure for another year or two.
January 28, 2018 - Decided to pop this on a 84 degree January day here in sunny SoCal - winter? Whats that?
Was just what the doctor ordered, with light citrus notes and a nice minerality. No formal notes taken, and nothing super notable about it, But for what it is..and what I purchased it for - definitely delivered - a nice easy drinking wine.
As others mentioned, the alcohol was very neatly concealed with no trace. Just a really easy drinking wines and for the price a good value!
Shows End Drink Date of 2016? This is still drinking very nicely, so signs of any fading, would say should easily hold for another year or two.
July 4, 2017 - Tasted blind, at 1st nose seemed herbal and austere, as the wine warmed showed melon. Palate was fruity with melon and citrus, waxy texture. Had no idea what this was. Very fun wine and I was impressed how well the alcohol content was hidden.
May 21, 2017 - Some great wines with Friends; 5/20/2017-5/21/2017 (The Barn at Walden): This was a solid wine and maybe under different circumstances it might have been a point higher, maybe not. Light golden in color. The nose has some grapefruit to it. On the palate, it is tart yellow grapefruit. Good, but lack the depth or complexity I might have hoped for. Otoh, it is refreshing and tasty.
March 19, 2017 - Last of my 8 bottles, and this is still drinking really well. Paired nicely with Chicken Tikka Masala, which was a bit of a surprise to me. If I had more, I'd be curious to see where this goes over the next year or two.
February 12, 2017 - ripe melon, passionfruit, and apricot sit on top of some bread dough. light floral notes. waxy texture. medium finish.
