Wow! Darting acidity pierces through the medium body balanced flawlessly with the residual sugar.

I have been on an off-dry kick, and this is perfect. The balance of acidity, sweetness, minerality, and fruit is exceptional. At 22 bucks it's hard to beat.

Aroma: Mandarin orange, sweet lemon, delicate notes of ripe pineapple. Palate confirms above, along with ripe nectarine, even guava. Off-dry, high acid.
