by admin on Sep.10, 2007, under white wine, wine
Background: St. Julian is the largest Michigan winery and is located in Paw Paw. I received this new release as part of my first shipment from their Wine and Brandy Club.
Presentation: Green screw-top bottle. Pours almost clear, with just the slightest tinge of yellow. 11% ABV
Nose: Apricots and citrus. Extremely fruity.
Taste: Crisp and light; lemon and apricot interplay on a bracing background of minerality. Sweet and fruity at the start, but with a slightly drying finish and a perfect amount of acidity.
Overall: Very good. Not too sweet, with intense fruit that's not overpowering.
