Just ok. A bit rustic. Not my style.

Pale lemon in color.

Strong fruity nose of honeysuckle, diesel, peaches, melons, citrus, apricots,
tropical fruits, red apples, pineapples, spices, minerals and white flowers.

Medium-bodied with medium plus acidity and somewhat buttery.

Semi sweet on the palate with lemons, citrus, green apples, rose petals,
grapefruits, honey, apples, melons, spices, bitter herbs and white pepper.

Long sweet finish with almonds and limes.

This is my first North Carolina wine and it's a great start. Showing nice
complexity and mouthfeel. Well balanced and enjoyable by itself or with food.
Has a touch of Muscadine flavor, with lots of honey and flower notes.

Good for parties or as a sipping wine, to enjoy by the porch or pool.

I paired it with a cheese plate, crackers and great company.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

$12.

A great addition to a relaxing night with friends. Sweet but not overly cloying. Well rounded flavor leaning towards warmer apple notes.

Drinkable but really a novelty wine. Didn’t expect much else.

The label claims it's made with apricots, but I only taste and smell pears. It's good and sweet, but it really doesn't stand out from others.
