Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel:This fascinating off-dry wonder brilliantly blends together Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Chardonnay, Viognier and Muscat Canelli. The amazing thing about this wine is that on the nose you can get a sense of every grape used. Aromas and flavors of peach, jasmine, melons, pears, vanilla, grass and more intertwine in this multi-layered and well-balanced white. My note: Lovely and wild and exotic notes of lychees, rose petal, orange zest and honeysuckle blossoms. What a wine! Drink it as a fascinating aperitif or pair it with so many dishes. This wine is part of the Vintages Essentials Collection. Food matches: butter chicken, chana masala.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Bella Mcdowell rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review: One of my favorite restaurants has this wine and I always order it. The Conundrum has a floral nose with notes of peach, vanilla, and pear. Tastes of citrus, honeysuckle, rose, and melons. I recently found this wine for $18 a bottle which is a steal for a wine this balanced and complex.

Vera Czerny rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review: Lovely aroma of peaches, apricots and tropical fruit. Slightly sweet wine delivers symphony of fruit flavors on the palate, pear, green melon and touch of vanilla and honey. Rich, creamy texture of wine is perfectly balanced with its natural acidity into a long finish. Off dry Medium - Full body Aged in oak
