Description I’m almost positive this wine was in a bigger bottle last year and as I am writing this review I am looking it up … yes there it is, 750ml bottle, oh but the price was also higher ($22.95) … kudos to Huff for lowering the price along with the bottle size, that renews my faith of honesty in the wine business. Alright enough with my critique about prices and bottle size and on with what you’ll find when you pull the cork on this one. The nose has some great tropical fruit notes of apples, kiwi, and fresh banana. While in the mouth, it’s playful, with ripe nectarine in the front, lemon drop through the middle where it develops some tart qualities and ends with a juicy peach finish. Tasty, tangy and zippy are all words that can describe this wine made from 100% Vidal grapes picked after the first frost hit in 2006 (hence the name). Someone at the table described it as “a tropical party in the mouth” which hangs around just the right amount of time so that it does not wear out its welcome; like any good partygoer should. A great ender to a wonderful evening, and although it’s a 4 on the sugar code you barely feel a thing.
