Hi residual sugar that's not indicated anywhere on the label makes this a surprising Wine. Pleasant enough in the right environment but not what most people will be expecting.

A bit austere for my taste. Loire Chen Blanc can be more interesting than this.

A nicely made dessert wine, especially for the price ($22). A lighter style; peach, a strong lemon note. Good viscosity - satisfyinf but not too heavy. This would be great with a fruit-centric dessert. Pandemic bottle #21.
