A very nice dessert wine especially if you prefer them less sweet. Everyone in our party truly enjoyed it as it made a wonderful finish to a wonderful evening. A lovely smooth wine with enough complexity to make it interesting.

Held well in the cellar for 8 years. Smooth. Some nose has been lost with the time but still luscious sweet. Paired nicely with a homemade peach ice cream for dessert

A delightful dessert wine. Honeysuckle with white peach and slight melon on the palate. 4% residual sugar; from Moscato and Vidal varietals. All members of our group greatly enjoyed it. NV.

Drank w/orange-almond gluten free cake for dessert - went very well. Will continue to buy as good value dessert wine.

Good level of sweetness for a desert wine and good QPR.

Went very well with limoncello based dessert. Sweet, but not overly so, just enough acidity and excellent fruit accents to compliment the dessert. Great QPR to boot.

Fantastic 4yr old NV. So perfect for dessert or apertif. Not too sweet. Liquid velvet and a great price point.

this one is more about fun than quality. not too sweet and certainly tasty, dominated by peach notes. fun to serve to non-wine-geeks as an introduction to dessert wine.

This is the one that started it all. I wasn't a wine drinker before Phileo, but after a chance tasting, I was hooked. Although not terribly complex, this is a very accessible wine for a casual drinker or non-wine drinker. Lots of peach and apricots on the nose and palate, well balanced sweetness and acidity- it's not too tart, and not too syrupy sweet. Refreshing finish, very clean. Perfect for that muggy Virginia summer day, kick back, drink well chilled, …

tasted at the winery. not a bad effort, just not great. moscato, gewurz and some other grapes. peach colored with flowers and honeysuckle on the nose. nice nose. very sweet, but there is some bright acidity to keep it interesting. lots of litchi fruit on the finish. simple, summertime dessert wine.

very nice wine, not as sweet as a sauterne, more on the order in sweetness of a auslesse reisling Thomas Jefferson would be happy

Not quite as sweet as one might expect with a definite muscat flavor and nose. Mix it with fresh fruit (starwberries, peaches), wait 12 hours, and pour it over vanilla ice cream for a refreshing summer treat

Taste of Virginia; 11/1/2005-11/2/2005 (Virginia Countryside) : Plenty of flowers and tropical fruit. Nice, but not terribly complex.
