Taste /Description: I was apprehensive of this wine because of the words “sugar cubes” on the label as I’m not a fan of super sweet wines like ice wines. This white blend is light to medium in body and sweet but not too sweet. On the nose you get citrus and apples. Made with California Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Muscat with a touch of Chenin Blanc this wine an excellent blend of white grapes. Enjoy chilled with a fruit based dessert or alone chilled.
