Beautufully lithe with essence of popcorn. Bright acidity balanced by light oak aging. Vanilla, white nut (maybe pine nut), orange peel. Lemon, orange, yellow apple, white peach.

Definitely get vanilla on the nose. Lush. Med bodied. Low-medium acidity. Something like dried or poached fruit on the palate. Also slight nutty.
