Definitely sweet, but balanced with enough acidity to make it feel refreshing, offering pineapple, mango and a touch of honey as the finish lingers. Drink now through 2011.

Pleasant, definitely sweet, but carried by ripe fruit and moderate acids. Some streaks of honey enliven the midpalate and continue on through the clean and sappy finish. Just a hint of diesel suggests some flavors yet to emerge. this is a very solid, well-crafted effort.

Fruity and ripe, with a sweet style thatrsquo;s balanced by fairly aggressive acidity, finishing with enough liveliness to support the pear and floral flavors. Drink now.

Sweet and succulent, this is light in texture, offering a juicy mouthful of minty pear and floral flavors that linger on the open finish. Drink now.

This wine reaches just 8.5% alcohol, with 7% residual sugar, and plenty of backing acidity. CO2 from fermentation is left in the wine to give it a little soda pop feeling to it. A perfect transition from White Zin for the new wine consumer. Simple, but balanced and pleasurable, with flavors of peach, sugar, Meyer lemon, and orange candy.

A low-alcohol, high-acid, moderately sweet Riesling with far more complexity and elegance that you usually find at this price level. The fruit tastes of orange candy and tangerine, boosted with a little hint of honey.

Full straw-yellow. Subtle hints of stone fruits and spices on the nose. Thick and rather sweet, but with lovely acid grip framing the juicy peach and ginger flavors. An enticing fruit bomb with a chewy, layered texture.
