Vintage Cellar Review: Since this wine weighs in at 14%, the fruit was clearly very ripe. That ripeness is reflected in the flavors as well, which feature nectarine and honey accented by hints of white pepper. It’s full bodied and lush, with a long finish that mingles the sensations of sweet and spicy.

My Review: This white wine had a somewhat chemically sense to the nose. This could likely be allotted to the fact that it is 14% alcohol. Upon tasting it, it was evident that it was smooth and went down very easily. There was fruity aspect to the taste that was enjoyable. I would purchase this wine in the future!
