Fantastically fruity without the heavy oak or spice, this was very smooth. Just sweet enough.

Love this! It's definitely more of a sweet, dessert type wine but this is the kind I like to drink normally. The great thing for people with palates like mine is that the price is low and it comes in a normal sized bottled.

Very smooth, not full bodied, easily drinkable without food.

Trader Joe's had a tasting with this one and paired it with their aged blue cheese. It was delicious!

The nose on this reminds me of citrus and grapefruit but the taste definitely resonates apricots. I am no expert on Muscats but this was absolutely wonderful! Wonderful sipping wine.

This wine is a rich deep color. Unlike the meads of Hill Top Berry, the flavors aren't too intense. It has that deep cherry and exotic berry taste that really tickles the tongue. I would not recommend any Hill Top Berry wines paired with a meal, though I have heard that they can be brilliant in cooking. We had this after dinner with a few specialty flavored dark chocolates. I would highly recommend it if you like berry flavored wines.

A delicious apple wine and great for the price compared to some other VA apple wines. Wintergreen also does a perfect mulled wine with the apple wine and some mulling spices. I have been to Germany where they have the traditional gluvine and Wintergreen comes pretty close!

A delicious light wine, perfect for a hot summer night or a chicken or seafood pairing. We drank a bottle in a hot tub overlooking the Shenandoah Mountains. I hope they come to total wine soon!

If it weren't for the price, I would rate this higher. Props to Naked Mountain though for distributing at total wine. I don't have to worry about making another trip to the winery once we run out (or holding on to the bottle for a long time because of this).

Sweet as another reviewer mentioned, but I tend to like sweeter wines. Definitely not as sweet as a port. I would put it in the same category as a typical German riesling.
