Apothic White 2010 (About $13)


About the Wine:  Apothic Red is a mildly sweet red blend that has grown rapidly in popularity since its release.  The same company has produced a white wine that is a blend of Chardonnay, Riesling, and Moscato.
About THIS Wine:  The wine is straw-colored and slightly luminous in the glass, which is a very good sign for most whites.  The nose is complex with smells of chalk, citrus, and melon.  The palate is a bit sweet but not overly so and has strong flavors of pineapple and citrus.  The finish is very short.  That is unusual as sweeter wines tend to end with finishes that are dry, bitter, or cloying.
Drinking This Wine:  This would make a very good sipping wine.  It would also go well with salad.
Overall Impression:  The wine is very good.  For thirteen dollars it is a good value.
