June 2, 2010 - TR so general impressions. Not Yakima and White Riesling indicated. Complex, pure Riesling fruit with apricots, flowers, honey and peach. Honey on the palate. Good balance of sugar and acid keeps this reasonably fresh considering it's 10% rs. Overall, not powerful, delicate, interesting and enjoyable. Drink now.

January 3, 2010 - The Swirl: A beautiful peach juice and honey color. Even on the swirl, I get the impression this is going to be like a nice light syrup
The Sniff: Intoxicating aroma of honey, tropical fruit, and a field of wild flowers
The Sip: Obviously as a dessert wine this is sweet. It is not overly done and has a nice balance on the back end. Could pair nicely with spicey food. I personally could only experience it in small 2-3 oz pours.
The Score: I'm a fan, but not a huge fan of this wine. If you like dessert wines, you'll love it. At $10 per 1/2 bottle, I score this a high 3+ (out of 5) -
