Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
These tasting notes are often based on the winemaker’s notes. Well, this time he told me that this blend had aromas of lemon, pear, apple, jasmine and mushroom. Jasmine and Mushroom? You won’t find that combination in the Bath Soap Dept.! Then he goes on to mention nutty flavors of lemon and cirtrus. Okay, so now we have jasmine and mushrooms and lemons and nuts. Is this insane or what? Well, what I can tell you is that this blend is pretty damn yummy, and has a long creamy finish. And there is nothing wrong with a long creamy finish, I always say.
