Volcano Winery Macadamia Nut Honey Wine

[Thomas]

WOW,

I'm holding my breath--or nose!

They are sparklers. Just from reading the label, I am certain that one of them will be weird. I've handled them a few times, but haven't had the gumption to pop the corks.

The three still wines were a Gewurztraminer, Riesling, and Cabernet Franc, in that order.

The first one was good on the nose (floral, rosewater-like) but nothing on the palate, except noticeable CO2.

The second one smelled Lifesaver-ish and tasted like a flat piece of candy.

The third one almost smelled green pepperish--promising--but the taste was more like sweet fruit mixed with decayed leaves; reminded me of a French-American hybrid like Baco Noir.
