Lauren says, “Golden yellow. Aroma of caramel and butterscotch with a hint of golden raisins. Something eucalyptus or mint is barely noticeable. Medium bodied. Fairly sweet. Slight acidity. Flavor of peach, melon, and honey. Maybe a hint of vanilla or nuts on the end. Pretty rich for a white. This is a confusing wine. I don’t hate it. But it is weird. I don’t think I would recommend this. 5.5/10.”

Zach says, “ Golden yellow in the glass. This is weird. Notes of almond, jasmine, honey, and musk. Up front there is a lot of acidity and apricot. Flavor has so much dried fig and apricot it’s overwhelming. Never had anything like it, but can’t say I’d need another glass. Medium bodied. Very long, oxidized finish. Do not recommend. 5/10.”
