    YUMMY! Served it on a hot day with sauteed scallops and tomato,cuke & pepper salad. DELIGHTFUL, really brought out the sweetness of the scallops and the wine.

    Probably the best wine I've had from this club thus far. The taste was almost exactly as described on the wine tag. The only note that escaped me was the vanilla.

    Glad we're finished receiving your wines. The first two were very good but it has been "downhill" ever since.

    You guys have really been on a roll! This was a succulent, smooth wine with a beautiful floral nose and ripe stone fruits on the palate. Paired really well with roasted turkey breast and herbed mashed potatoes.
