There is mold on the cork-yuk! This is the first time it happened, and I'm on the third bottle recently purchased.

Honeysuckle/nectar, candy and very weak floral notes on a nose that reminds me of a skunky viognier.
Smooth, sweet liquid thick coating mouthfeel that really doesn't make me want to take a second sip. But I'm sucking it up for the team to really try to understand these Trader Joe's anomalies.
Finishes flat, wimpy, and just pathetic -- kicks w/ a touch of spice that leaves you w/ memories of a sauv blanc that doesn't taste like microwaved honey.
3rd in a series of Charles Shaw that we've been looking at. First white, and unfortunately, not the last (hello chardonnay). Maybe other bottles are better, but this one will haunt me.
