Tears of Dew has established itself as one of the leading white dessert wines in California, and the '05 is nobly in that tradition, although it's not quite up to the astonishing opulence of '04. Very sweet and well acidified, it has delicious apricot liqueur, orange marmalade and vanilla cream flavors and a long, complex finish. Just gorgeous.
