This wine has a lovely, golden hue, like a room bathed in the glow from a fireplace. On the nose, candied apricots and a hint of lemon peel lead the way. Honey traces portend sweetness. The palate has a special delivery for a sweet tooth. Apples, peaches and pears mingle in a viscous, mouth coating orgy of fruit. There is a good level of acidity, too, in case you're not having it just for dessert. A Brie would go nicely, or a triple cream cheese.

So fresh. Long, great fruit, almost racy acidity.

Celebration wine from the night I passed my level one exam with the court of master sommeliers. Amazing wine to finish out an amazing day.

Tasted much better when paired with cheesecake. Too sweet on it's own!
