Wine tasting event. Reminded me of Rosé. In a good way.

Pleasant. Very tasty. 2014 has the on-point balance between apricot, pear and juicy honeysuckle. The fruit meets the present, yet gentle toasty vanilla at the crossroads of dinner and put the kids down for bed and get naked and go-in-the-hot tub.

Very oaky and buttery on first opening, with a lot of oak on the finish. The oak softens after a while, but still dominates any fruit notes. Too oaky for me to just sip and enjoy, however it paired well with a rich spinach and artichoke dip and crackers.

Great wine. Very buttery upon first opening. Super oak full body. Let's up over time and transforms into something much lighter. I would say it's almost too big when you first open it but too light after left open for longer than you should. Have to find that balance. Let it sit for a bit and then go for it. I would buy it again. Super cool label.
