  September 27, 2016 - Similar notes. I like the way the rich honey and tropical fruit balances with the bright acidity. Poured for wife and her friend and they both really enjoyed it.

  July 3, 2016 - Fourth of July Weekend; 7/2/2016-7/4/2016: Light gold color. Smells of chunky mango and pineapple, but also some bright honeysuckle, dandelion and a hint of waxy nuttiness. Medium-plus-bodied this is a chunky, almost chewy wine in terms of mouthfeel, but the acids sweeps in and cleans the wine up (love this about Petit Manseng). Rich flavors of peach, pineapple and melon, topped with honey, orange marmalade, spiced tea and mint flavors. Complex, straight delicious, but also vibrant and clean. Long, rich, yet crisp finish with flavors that remind me of Sweet Tarts. Another great example of why I continue to be thrilled about Virginia Petit Manseng.

  June 4, 2016 - This wine was selected as part of the Virginia Governor’s Case in 2015. Petit Manseng is widely grown in southwest France, and it’s rumored to have been used to baptize King Henry IV. Medium to full bodied, rich and complex. Flavors of stone fruit, honey, and nutmeg. Focused acidity, beautifully balanced. Retail = $25.
