Happy Father's Day!
Peach and apple on the nose, and fairly sweet on the palate. Like thousands of sweet/tart fruit bubbles all the way down. Unique. Very much enjoyable on the patio in TX during a summer day!

Light straw yellow color with tiny bubbles. The bouquet is floral with sweet stone fruits. The palate shows flavors of peach and apricot with a touch of honey. The ending is smooth with some gentle sweetness but not overdone.

Floral notes with a hint of citrus, honeydew melon and some other cream fruits.

Extra dry Chardonnay with 30% Muscat. Off-dry but not cloying. It reads somewhere between an Asti and a demi sec sparkling wine. I could see it being nice with a not too sweet custard or syllabub.

Pale straw color with nice tiny bubbles. Pear, yellow apple and white peach on the nose and palate and some stony minerality on the finish.

This was far too sweet for my taste, and quite cloying after a couple of sips...ended up using it for champagne cocktails, in the end.

Dried apricot, peach, hints of caramel cream, and a sweet pecan nuttiness.
