Ripe cantaloupe on the nose. Butter on the mouth and very creamy mouth feel. Almost no fruit, but some apple/pear. Excellent with a citrusy, creamy pasta.

Their winemaking origins date back nine generations, to Phillip Herzog, who made wine in Slovakia for the Austro-Hungarian court more than a century ago. Aromas of stone fruits and perfume scents. Flavors of tart apple and pear with lemon tones and oak characteristics. Medium length, a bit acidic ending with nothing but oak. Ok, but pricy.

Over-oaked and over-manipulated Chardonnay. It has some nice flavors but overall it is unbalanced. Not bad for Kosher wine, and at least it is reasonably priced.

A "heavy" white. Very oaked and almost oily. Not your crisp refreshing white wine. Pair with something of substance.
