Producer tasting notes: "Densely golden and amber, commonly the image of older white wines, transparently luscious to the eye; creamy texture visible and lush on the palate. Intense bouquet of tropical fruits, including apricot and pineapple, pear, honey and almond. Hints of evolving into age, through skilled structuring in the winery. A firm foundation of alcohol and sugar assures long palate and shelf life." - Barboursville Vineyards
