the lightest of the thornton lineup marches to the beat of a different drummer. dominated by muscat canelli, the aromas suggest ripe pears, buttered cinnamon toast and candied orange peel, but it’s not really sweet. in fact, it’s just barely off-dry, with wonderfully rich flavors. it finishes a little sugary, which makes it cloying, but this is a minor criticism. all in all, it’s good, unconventional stuff.
