Critics Ratings

‘This dessert wine is beautifully balanced, evoking honey and citrus aromas and flavors on a sleek frame. Light on its feet, it would pair well with foie gras or a lightly sweet dessert. Made from 100 percent Chenin Blanc. Drink now through 2002.’ – Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (Nov 1999)

‘A good value in dessert wine, it shows off honey, dried apricot and orange aromas and flavors. Not terribly viscous, but it shows nice balance between sweetness and acidity. Ready to drink now. Best Buy.’ – Wine Enthusiast (Sep 1999)
