This was is sweet! Although not unexpected, the lushness and overt sweetness gives you pause after the first sip. On the second sip you begin to realize what a spectacular and special wine this is. Honey and tropical fruit salad on the nose lead to a lush, sweet, but spectacularly balanced palate with layers of pineapple, peach, papaya, mango and honey. I think Terry Thiese put it best himself, “this wine is impeccable and god-like. To repeat an old trope, you don’t drink it, it drinks YOU. Actually it eats you. It’s like the 3rd or 4th orgasms, wrenching and almost severe, exquisiteness squeezed inside out.” A steal of a wine at $25 and a spectacular pairing for spicy foods.
