Considerably better and with a tripled case production from the prior vintage. Juicy grapefruit, lemons, and orange zest rush to greet you on the palate. Tangible acid is rounded by gentle sweetness from 5% muscat. Solid nose and finish, but the palate steals the show here. Nice wine.

Clean, fresh, and vibrant nose features tropical fruits, jasmine, and lemongrass. The palate however is unbalanced, and certainly falls short of the nose.

Lemongrass and tropical fruits on the nose. Mango skin, papaya, passion fruit with light citrus. Smells inviting, but palate is seems overly dry, losing fruit and finishing with considerable heat. The winery suggests an ice cube.. 🙄

Exactly what it should be: tropical fruit, vanilla,gooseberry, and limeade. Dry, fruity, refreshing.

Aromas of guava, mango, pineapple, peach, & cat pee. Mouth of white peach, mango & pineapple and good acid. Balanced. Medium plus finish.

Nice balance. Cat pee & fresh sweat on the nose that rounds out beautifully with ripe grapefruit, green apple & light acidity.
