There are certain wines that are just made for summer – and sometimes you find those wines in the dead of winter – this is one of those wines. I tasted this one during a late fall afternoon during Wrapped Up in the Valley (20 Valley’s pre-Christmas touring event) and as I sipped it on Fielding’s back patio during abnormally warm temperatures for late-November. I thought, “I wish I had found this mid-summer instead of right now.” A nose of pear, apple and tangerine that was thoroughly inviting. The palate was very pear oriented, with just the right amount of tangerine notes, a hint of sweetness and a lovely citrus finish. Great value on a summer sipper that should drink just as nicely next summer, so buy now, drink later, but not too much later. Price: $13.95 – Rating: ****
