Winery review: Vanilla cream soda nose with a slice of fresh cut pineapple. Full body, tropical fruit, spice and pleasing vanilla oak note linger in the finish. Sweet flavor on the palate is from sur-lie aging the wine on the primary yeast lees for 7months. A versatile style of wine that can be served chilled with fine cuisine or a glass with friends. Certified Green by Lodi Rules Sustainable Winegrowers.
My review: I got the aforementioned hint of vanilla on the nose as well as the standard generic fresh fruit smell that most of the wines I taste seem to have. I picked up a smokey meat flavor on the palate that I was not expecting and I quite frankly was not overjoyed with the wine itself. Not one I would buy, but I guess that is why you go to tastings.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
