When the aroma of peach melba hits, you know you are in for a treat. First off, a cup of chamomile tea touched with a bit of turbinado sugar is a relaxing flavor combination. The Golden Delicious apple and melon flavors are mere bonuses. The wine’s smooth, slippery texture is graced by soft acidity. Pair with a hammock. - Michael Alberty

Immaculate fruit, barrel fermentation in neutral French oak, and parial malolactic (to naturally balance the acidity), help make this their most versatile food wine. It’s nice by itself, and will pair nicely with any dish that goes with wine.

This wine should bottled as a perfume so its aromas of ripe Hood strawberries, honeysuckle and dried Hidcote lavender can be dabbed on all nearby pulse points. The wine's tannins are grippy, with bright flavors of blackberry, lemon and buttered toast points. - Michael Alberty, Wine Enthusiast
