At 10% alcohol--with I'm guessing 60+ g residuals--the last 9 years leave an impression that is both sweetly-floral and quenching. Not sweet enough to be sticky on the palette, this is akin to peach honeysuckle sherbet. If you're lucky to have one of these tucked away, enjoy it on a bluebird mountain day. — 11 years ago
Super fruity bit with ripe violet on the nose. There is more than just juice from the carbonic maceration, the carignan gives it character and prevents it from being glou glou. Really great vdf — 11 years ago
Light touch of oak, Chenin, Chardonnay delicious when the sun is out! — 11 years ago
