Top Notes For

8.0

Medium gold in color. On the nose it was medium to pronounced intensity. Smelled of Green apple and blossom, some secondary of oak. On the palate it was dry with medium+ alcohol, Low+ acidity, finish was nice, the oak tends to linger along with the ripe fruit that matches the nose. The wine was balanced, but it was lacking in complexity. A Good wine overall.

Oaky nose with a hint of Apple, there is a big initial wave of juicy Macintosh, a bit of chalky minerality and a big long finish with some lingering citrus notes

Had a smoky hint on the nose which was intriguing but on the palate this was only average.
