Glycerin and gasoline on the nose as if it were a Riesling. -honeydew melon, trampled white flowers. Off-dry palate that is a little mute. Golden delicious apples.

$19 at the grocery store-- in need of an Indian food pairing. Gotta say- this was pretty damn tasty. Happened to find the 2012 hiding on the shelf!

A reductive sweaty armpit stands out on the nose. There are some candied strawberry notes that finish off on the aroma front. The tongue has some smarties and candied fruit on this semi-sweet style. I'm not sure how the reductive note will clean up, but not too pleasant right now.

Very well balanced Demi-sec. Delicious to pair with a rich chicken fish. Stone, golden apple, white peach, and balanced acid that creates great structure. Solid value.

Sort of nondescript: very pale yellow with some nice apple & yellow stone fruit on nose along with some lanolin & waxy notes - somehow got a vague Torrontes vibe - light bodied w/decent acidity and a hint of RS on finish. Just not very generous, was looking for it to be a little more round & supple, but not bad at all...
