The Winery at Kirkwood – ‘St. Pepin’ Sweet White Wine

This is an interesting small-batch wine, which may be difficult to get your hands on.  The bottle we tasted came from a 23 gallon batch, so there isn’t much to go around.

 

The wine is sweet and floral, with tropical fruit notes and flavors which can only be expressed as being ‘rich’.  There is a nuttiness to this wine as well, which in some cases may indicate a flaw, but it seems to complement the fruit rather well.  The acidity is nearly masked by the sweetness of the wine, but overall it is well balanced.
