d'arenberg has a quartet of sweet wines from 2008, and this blend of viognier, pinot gris and marsanne represents a terrific value. it's syrupy sweet, redolent of honey-drizzled, spiced poached pears. to quibble, it could be a touch more complex and crisp, but it is still a succulent mouthful of dessert wine for drinking over the next few years.
