9.0

Aroma: Clove, potpourri, dried dark red fruits, tobacco pouch

Taste: oak notes, cherry, vanilla

Other: well balanced b/w tannin, acid, OH; it's on the hot side, dried fruit notes not as strong on the tongue.

8.5

Aroma: Pineapple, lemon curd, ripe peaches

Taste: Meyer lemon, pineapple, slight acidity

Other: light but balanced, maybe due to higher 13.6% ABV, pretty damn good for a SoCal white.

7.0

Aroma: Ripe cherry, raspberry, strawberry, slight mocha

Taste: not as fruity as the nose, tart/acidic

Other: not as balanced and smooth as I expected. Quite astringent and tannin. It does look great in the glass however.
