Purchased this wine for an on-line wine-tasting class. Now, I remember why I liked CB years ago. I just don't get too many CB offers (sale items) from my usual wine sources and haven't gone looking for CB. We drink lots of German Riesling instead. In this bottle, there is lots of food-friendly acidity along with orchard and tropical fruits. Flowers, almonds, and herbs also make an appearance. Only bought one bottle, but I can see this wine improving with …

Sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste, I don’t taste it but girlfriend does. More floral than fruity.

light golden color, no flaws, off-dry, medium acidity, tropical fruits, blue stone, wine seems to fight with itself, not bad overall but won't be everyone's style.

Medium dry, aromas of apricot, stone fruit, honey notes. Off-dry medium sweet, medium acidity, medium(-) alcohol @11% abv, medium body. Medium palate of apricot, peach and spice dusting. Rather unctuous texture, good length, sweet-ish fruit-driven finish. Linear and straightforward.

Perhaps, had there been some clear indication that this was a sweet wine, I would think differently, but it was surprisingly sweet which overpowered any other thoughts.
