Home from work and sitting on my back porch deck as I write this tasting review. This is a nice backyard sipper, perfect for summer time or any easy going social event. No need to find a food match for this one. Serve and sip all on it's own. I had to dig a bit to find the nose. It's there but its shy. I did pick up strawberry, and just a little bit of citrus Taste offers strawberry, reminded me of those hard strawberry candies that are individually wrapped. Some good acidity to balance the sugar. Yes, it is a sweet wine. Excellent value as it is well under $10. Simple and easy, sip and serve! Best served chilled.
