A sweet white offering varietally correct aromas of rose, lychee, and spice. Low alcohol and low acid leave the sugar to do the talking, which it does with flavors of lychee and peach. Good for summer sipping, with a spicy finish.——M.D.(8/1/2006)—— 84

Fairly dry, with lemony litchee, melon flavors, wrapped in a mineral-like robe. Very crisp, very clean; and quite light textured. ——J.M.(1/1/2003)—— 87

It’s spicy, as the grape’s name implies, but doesn’t have a lot of the rose or lychee scents typical of the variety. Instead, there’s baking spices lightly sprinkled over honeydew melon. Nice balance of sweet and tart elements makes the wine easy to drink. ——J.C.(3/1/2002)—— 85
