Sweet and cloying. Not unreasonable at a sub 20 $ price point, but notwithstanding the cost component, this is not a wine I would normally choose to drink over other even less costly options. Overall taste is of sweetness and crude tannins. This bottling has some cab franc to give it a little acidity but its a bit disjointed.

Drinking this on a pleasant Friday night. This is a great dessert wine. Sweet. And what everybody else said too. But seriously, this is so sweet and so American palette that I have a hard time getting on board with it. Great floral notes but I would really only serve this to friends as a dessert pairing.
