Awkward - too sweet for a table wine but not sweet enough to really hit the dessert wine spot for me. Flavours and aromatics were good but I think RS closer to 6% could have pushed it over into the proper (for us) lighter late harvest style.

Tercero Dinner #2 in the OC with Larry Schaffer (A Restaurant In Newport Beach, CA): This is a late harvest style wine, although the database title here that I chose to use would not paint that distinction. There is about 4% RS in this wine, with an alc level around 13%. I don't care much for sweet wines anymore, not do I get enamored by high scoring expensive ones--I simply don't enjoy the sweetness, the density and heavier side of them. This one here, it doesn't come off like that type of late harvest. Apricot, grapefruit, peach and guava, with a touch of sweetness but yet refreshing. If I was to drink late harvest, this is where I would spend my time and money.

This was a little gift from the wine gods that showed up in barrel so they bottled it. Chris loves this wine so a bottle followed us home and we'll pop it with her father. RS is something like 4. Sweet pear, obviously, with medium plus weight but the acid does a nice job of holding this all together and preventing from becoming syrupy.

Shocked there is only 5 bottles in CT for this wine. This and the rosé are a staple around the house in the summer. Just solid on all four corners.
