Perfect example of why most overspend regarding wine. Offers the rancio, richness, and complexity of similar style wines from much more glamorous appellations at a fraction of the price.

The color initially had me thinking one way, then the nose and palate took me to the promise land. Apricots and orange marmalade, with a persistent scent of flower blossoms honey, a touch of sweet cinnamon and other baking spices. The palate is where it all comes together with a tight and lengthy snap of acidity that is perfectly integrated with the density and lusciousness of the wine.

This is stunning. 2008 and 2014 combined and bottled in 2015. Pineapple, peach but not to sweet, enormous depth and length. Wow.

My new favorite dessert wine. Very balanced with enough acid to keep sweetness from being over the top.
