This wine is a blend of Gewürztraminer, Muscat Canelli, Riesling and Symphony.  As I mentioned, 2% of the grapes are from North Carolina and the rest are from the Mendocino and Monterey regions of California.

I like the nose on this wine, it offers plenty of citrus, such as lemon an grapefruit, but it also shows melon, hay and mineral aromas—giving it a good bit of complexity.  On the palate, this is a semi-sweet wine.  I’m not opposed to sweeter wines, but it’s all about balance.  If a wine is on the sweet side, it needs to have enough acidity to balance that sweetness or else it comes off as flabby.  And this one is a little shy on the acidity.  It’s not a trainwreck, but it’s just a little out of balance in my opinion.  That said, the flavors are good with notes like lime, apple and tropical fruit.  It finishes with apple & honeydew melon flavors that linger on for a good bit.  The sweetness of this wine would make it a good wine for spicy Thai food.
