It has touches of a good late-harvest riesling with sweet clover honey flavors and nice acids. The cork is covered with beeswax to add to the enjoyment. The Bridgman has certain charms with floral, spicy aromas and flavors and a dry finish. I felt it resembled a well-made chenin blanc that used to be produced in this region a few years ago before it went out of style. American oak lends some spiciness to this wine's appeal.
Good tannins make it a keeper that can be consumed now or aged for a few years.
A long finish with essences of vanilla extract add to the enjoyment. This one is mostly aged in stainless steel with a bit of oak. A fruit-forward wine with touches of pineapple and apples that is perfect for chicken and seafoods. The finish is balanced between the oak and fruit, producing a rich white wine.
