This wine is a blend of Gewürztraminer, Muscat Canelli, Riesling and Symphony. As I mentioned, 2% of the grapes are from North Carolina and the rest are from the Mendocino and Monterey regions of California.
I like the nose on this wine, it offers plenty of citrus, such as lemon an grapefruit, but it also shows melon, hay and mineral aromas—giving it a good bit of complexity. On the palate, this is a semi-sweet wine. I’m not opposed to sweeter wines, but it’s all about balance. If a wine is on the sweet side, it needs to have enough acidity to balance that sweetness or else it comes off as flabby. And this one is a little shy on the acidity. It’s not a trainwreck, but it’s just a little out of balance in my opinion. That said, the flavors are good with notes like lime, apple and tropical fruit. It finishes with apple & honeydew melon flavors that linger on for a good bit. The sweetness of this wine would make it a good wine for spicy Thai food.
