I have come to really enjoy this wine. I've tasted the 2012, 13, and 14 vintages and enjoyed them all. The bottle's back label states: "lush, full-bodied wine with peach, apricot, and honeysuckle aromas followed by luscious honey, mango, and nectar finish." I'm not sure that I tasted mango, but I do know that I enjoy this wine with most chicken dishes and vegetarian dishes. I believe it is an excellent value for the price at Trader Joe's.

Not a fan, too sweet, but not in a good way. The name should have been enough for me to realize. There is certainly better wines to drink, even at the price.

Ripe peach, honey, and balanced acidity. Maybe some residual sugar, works well with takeout Chinese food.

Lush tropical fruit and honey. Balanced acidity, maybe a bit of residual sugar.

Lush ripe peach with some honey. Nice acidity, even a hint of minerality on the finish. Great value wine from Trader Joe's.
