My daughter liked this one so much she bought me a bottle. 143 cases made. Light golden yellow, excellent clarity. Pineapple, vanilla in nose with a touch of sulfite. Pineapple, orchard fruit and white floral flavors, dry, orange-lemon flavor in finish with slight skin astringency. Easy sipping style, well balanced but might lack acidity to work with everything as a solid food wine. After an hour, a graham cracker flavor emerges along with a malic aftertaste. There might be a hint of Brett in the nose alongside the lingering sulfite, but not often enough to be certain. Complex wine, or marginally flawed? Tough call, but the wine is still highly drinkable. Drink up; not much reason to age this one
