  Pretty golden in color.
  
  Showing Sweet lemons, honey, red apples, melons, pears, tropical fruits, pineapples, bananas and light spices.
  
  Full bodied and syrupy with high acidity and fat legs.
  
  This is a delicious sweet white wine from Sonoma Mountain.
  
  Rich, thick and sweet with enough acidity for the high sugars. Showing nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel.
  
  Could use years in the bottle to mature and get more complexity, but already delicious. If you have the patience to wait 20 years, this would be delightful, and full of complexity.
