Seriously tasty. Dried apricot and pineapple. Had a little funk upon opening but blew off in about 30 minutes. Really evolved in the glass as the temperature rose.

Lemon peel, beeswax honey nose. Serious white wine. Needs a bit more time to unlock the palette fully.

Wonderful balance, with tropical fruit and subtle use of oak. Paired nicely with our creative buffalo wing sauce with blue cheese.

Structural and chewy. Intriguing and delicious. Almond skin, rose stem, yellow plum, pit and rocks, lots of rocks.

Nice presentation of this grape. Tart and acidic, fairly dry, and has some unique fruit aromas.
