Ripe, tropical fruit heavy nose. Balanced, creamy palate, and crisp finish with moderate allspice and nutmeg from time spent in American oak. Viognier adds florals and texture. Recommend picking it up for a weekday white if you can find it under $20

Okay but not balanced, no fruit. In its defense it’s showing signs of possible oxidization, which would explain its shortcomings.

Complex butter cream oak bomb when it’s warm. Past it’s prime? Who knows? It’s yummy and delivers.

PA Chairmans Select. Nice buttery flavor with oak in the lingering finish. Some acidity. Really nice.
