Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2011

(15.4% alcohol; from a 1987 planting not far from Ritchie Vineyard):  Good full yellow.  Very ripe nose dominated by tropical fruits.  Tactile-verging-on-glyceral in the mouth, with an impression of chewy extract to the exotic orange blossom flavor.  Open-knit today owing to its sheer sweetness, but this wine too is technically very dry.  From a warmer site than the Ma Douce, and it shows it.
