Surprisingly acidic and clean on the palette. Relatively delicate aromatics, not as much stone fruit as generally expected.

Very aromatic and balanced. Plenty of stone fruit and honey. Supple and round.

Has to be in the conversation of the top Cali Vio's. Unctuous tropical fruit and flowers with the right dollop of acidity. Ever so slightly off-dry. Outstanding with chicken in Thai peanut sauce.
