    Mouth-feel is a great start, satiny-smooth, luxurious. Spices are the signature, peppery with a touch of hot pepper heat. Black cherry and cola lead to blackberries, all with black and white pepper in the background. n the finish the dark fruit and pepper linger. Tannins are firm, silky up front,

    A very pleasant wine at a very pleasant price: easy to drink, pairing with a surprising number of food flavors.  Beginning with a white plum aroma, the wine is lightly fruity on the palate with an undercurrent of crisp chalkiness.  A respectable amount of acidity provides balance throughout.  Try it

    Sometimes when I’m watching a movie I see the people onscreen pour a medium-light red wine and sip it in such a satisfied way you know the wine is just perfect: not too fruity, not to dry, not too pretentious, very smooth and satisfying overall.  Well, this wine actually is

    The nose shows barely-ripe white peaches, white flowers, and a tiny hint of ginger. The palate is an interesting combination of tart and sweet. The tart comes through as Key lime, the sweet from white peaches. Tart green apple shows on the mid-palate. Lime shows again and lingers on the
