This was delicious. Beautiful color, floral nose, great weight, thick, rich, and full of honey, apricot, canned peaches on the palate. Syrupy mouth feel, and beautiful desert wine. Hard not to like.

Tasted at a Joseph Phelps tasting at Artisan Wine Depot in Los Altos, CA. Clear honey color. Aromas peach, apricot and honeysuckle. Nice, full-bodied texture with sweet and tangy pineapple with peach and apricot. Very sweet but the tangy tartness brightens it and keeps it tasting much lighter. Made from the Scheurebe grape, a rarity in California. Drinkable now and over a few years, but don't let it hang around, you want the fresh tartness fully intact.

Wonderful aromas and tastes - apricot, peach, pineapple, jasmine, honey. Full body, medium+ acidity, long finish with a nice balance between sweet and tart. A little sweet for me by itself. It needs something like panna cotta or chocolate to accompany it....

Made from 100% Scheurebe from the Spring Valley Ranch Vineyard in St. Helena. It offers succulent aromas of ripe pinapple, sweet nectar, ginseng tea and honeysuckle. Richly textured with lots of viscosity.

No flavor, just cloyingly sweet. Wanted to love it but really didn't enjoy it. The sweetness overpowered everything.

Peach stone, minerals, and orange blossom. The wine is sweet on the finish. Excellent!

Sweetness was light with a tinge of fruit. Easy to drink.
