Lemon/pear/apple, tart ripe fruit, creamy texture with slight vanilla character. Good acid, tasty, very short finish

Very crisp for a '12, maybe a little over acidified?

Pear on the nose, medium weight, lightly sweet, mild tangy, flavors of grapefruit early in the bottle - evolving to green Apple 45 minute - 1 hour after decanting. Moves to a Subtle fatty mouth feel. (Paired w/ cheese tortellini w/ chicken mushroom Alfredo, fried eggplant & garlic bread). We like this white Burgundy style wine.

Pleasantly complex. Wet stone and light floral aromas lead to a very smooth taste.

Easy to drink. Smooth and not too sweet. More from the Ed and Paula collection.
