Oak forward with a very light fruit aroma. Very light straw. Aromas of pencil eraser, guava, popcorn butter and honey. In the mouth this wine is light and almost thin. Expedited finish. #ncwine

Spicy oak on nose, popcorn, matchsticks, some tropical fruit - trying to go Burgundian… decent effort w/great QPR. Estate that brings in fruit from CA, instead using NC grapes, but this appears to be local fruit

Buttery on the nose with an okay finish. It does leave a lingering taste to it.

One of my personal favorites! Very oak heavy, with a creamy and buttery feel. Hints on sweetness but not overpowering.

Light and refreshing. Not too sweet and not too dry. Perfect summer wine.

Caramel and lime rind on the nose. Straw, touch of asparagus and eucalyptus, and pear on the palate. Smells like a Thai-lime-wrapped Rolo, but finishes like a fatty Sicilian white. The most interesting and distinctive wine in our flights.
