Winery Review:

Bright, light golden color. Very aromatic nose of ripe apricots, sage, honey and a slight minerality. Medium bodied, sweet and fruity with flavors of apricots and tangerine. Well balanced acidity and medium finish with layers of sweet and citrus fruit. -Vintage Cellar

My review:
Smell - This wine smelled super fruity. It smelled a little grapefruity/apricoty. I also got a hint of tangerine in the aroma.  

Taste - This wine was really sweet. I tasted a lot of the same fruit I got in the aroma. I tasted a lot of apricots and honey. I also tasted the hint of tangerine I got in the aroma. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with this wine because it was too sweet and there was just too much sweetness going on in the glass. 

I tasted this wine without food.
