Vintage Cellar's Notes: Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish.
This was the most intriguing wine to me this week. The smell was great, sweet and creamy. After first taste I got hints of bananas, maybe like a banana cream pie. It was slightly effervescent, which made it really interesting to swish around in your mouth to get the flavors and the little bit of bubbles to work together. It didn't say so, but I would get this wine was oaked at some point in its aging, because of the banana and cream tones I got from it.
