Occasional Wine Note: Some of these collaborative wine making ventures really deliver and this one absolutely fits into that category. There's a ton going on here from the creamy lemon to the sweet peach to the mineral undertones to the fantastic mouthfeel. It's just delicious and at a great price!

The Eroica’s aromas of peach, guava and freshly cut grass make a nice introduction to flavors like lemonflavored Jolly Rancher candies, wet stones and a wisp of red cherry. The wine’s mouthfeel is as plush as its acidity is soft. Serve with a plate of tuna sashimi and call it a day.

Lemon curd, peach, green apple and wet stone notes. Touch of honey. It’s medium-bodied, vibrant and creamy, with a peachy and lightly honeyed finish.
