Shop/wine critic/winery review: "A stony, pure style, with a warm paving stone note framing the dried cherry and rose water notes. The long watermelon rind-inflected finish is finely tuned. Show length and cut, staying lacy in feel." The Vintage Cellar
My Review: The nose on this wine was definitely less sharp than the Cortese wine, it was fruity but more peachy or mango than anything citrus. It reminded me of an orange creamsicle or even a light tropical body mist without the chemical component of it. A very likeable smell! The mouth feel was medium bodied and had a good amount of acidity, making for great structure overall. It was semi-sweet but not overpowering with a lot of those peachy flavors coming through. The flavor actually reminded me of some of those sucking candies, just not as sweet. It was a great wine and I would definitely like to try this one again in the future to sip on in the summer by a pool.
This wine was tasted at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
