Nose: Pronounced tropical fruits possibly ripe pineapple and melon with maybe a hint of peach.
Palate: This is a dry wine that seems full-bodied with medium(+) acidity (almost mouth-watering but not quite). The fruit flavors seem to be a light/weak intensity of unripe pineapple and peach with some vanilla spice. There is a slight alcohol burn on the rear back of the throat (13%ABV).
Finish/Length: The finish is clean but with a slight stickiness (could be my imagination) and the length is short with no lingering flavors.
Conclusion: This wine is somewhat out of balance due to the perception of alcohol burn. It would guess that the wine had some contact with oak (possibly new American oak or chips). Retail price is about US$13.00. I wonder if the alcohol burn and the light intensity of flavors would adjust in another context than a tasting room. However, I would not spend my money to experiment.
