Shop Review:
The inviting apricot preserves, honey, butter, and roasted almond aromas of this semi-sparkler pull you right in. It's on the sweet side, with stone-fruit flavors kept alive by decent acidity. The palate bubbles and tingles and maintains its balance. Fine as an aperitif or with dessert.

My Review:
When we got to the wine tasting, there was only one bottle of this wine left, the one they were poring for the tasting. I wasn't really paying attention to this being mentioned until after I had tasted it. It smelled like a fruit cocktail. One of the store bought cans of mixed fruit where all the flavors are mixed into one fruity flavor. When I tasted it, I knew why they had no more bottles in the store. This wine is super sweet and fruity. I really wanted to buy one of these on the spot.
