Easy-drinker. Much more flavorful than others in the same price range (under $10), but definitely not up to the same level as Golan or some others (in the $15 range).

Classic "muscat" type nose highlighted by ripe peaches and pears. Very true to the varietal - you cannot mistake muscat for anything else. Good acidity balances the residual sugar, with a little lift of zest on the finish to prevent it from being cloying. Easy to drink, and great with Curry. I wouldn't classify it as a "dessert wine", it's not sweet enough, but for spicy meals with a little heat, this works perfectly.
Very well made wine. No faults, everything seems to be in balance for the style. At $6, you cannot go wrong. Serve chilled

Look, I can't afford to drink great Tokaji or Quarts de Chaume every weekend. Had some non-serious wine friends over a few weeks ago, and for a whopping $6 per bottle, bought 2 and joyfully consumed. Sweet peach, very simple, but just enough acidity to keep it honest. Easily outperforms other sweet quaffers that are twice the price.

This dessert wine is too sweet for me, but my adult daughters said it was very good and gave it an 85 score.
