This is off dry, low alcohol (11.5%), spiced up with tart acidity and loaded with rich, ripe fruit flavors mixing pears and peaches. Sweet without being sugary, it should appeal to a wide spectrum of wine drinkers, and snap together the flavors of a Thai food. Columbia Crest makes 18,000 cases of this wine. ——P.G.(12/31/2010)—— 88

Off-dry with lemon-drop fruit flavors, this fruit-forward wine is very well made, in a sweetish, tasting-room style. The fruit is fresh and clean, the wine is sweet but not sugary, and it is right in line with past efforts.——P.G.(12/31/2009)—— 87

Off-dry with lemon-drop fruit flavors, a lick of citrus that suggests pear and lime. Though it’s a fairly simple, fruit-forward wine, it delivers a concentrated burst of fresh, vivid flavor that’s missing from most wines in this price range.——P.G.(5/1/2009)—— 87
