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.
This wine had a natural, grassy flavor. On top of that, it has a peppery flavor. I think that's partially due to the high alcohol content, it was definitely hot. It was pretty strong for a lighter type of wine. As I tasted it at the Vintage Cellar, I didn't try it with food.
