Almost as enjoyable as Rombauer at 1/3 the cost.

Bursting with fresh apples and pear then wraps up with some beautiful oak. Slightly buttery with clove, butterscotch and crème brûlée. Lovely, smooth and bright!

Drinks a bit warm, so a little unbalanced. A hint of butter, a citrus peel finish. It's good, but you can tell it's new world.
