For Mother's Day, I opened this nice dessert wine, which I kept for a nice occasion.

Beautiful Golden in color.

Pungent nose with stinky feet, honey, peach and apricot.

Bold with high acidity, which balances out the sweetness.

Buttery and sweet on the palate with apricot, Peach , citrus, mango and sweet melon.

Long finish.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
RS 93.7 g/l

Was going to bring this to Tom and Caroline's for the barbaque... Brought a 2009 Cakebread Cab and one of my recent favorites a 2004 Bran Caia... The Bran Caia just ROCKS; 50% Sangiovese, 45% Merlot and 5% Cab... You barely recognize it to be Italian... It is yummy!!!
