SMV has been growing SB since 1993, as well as its stellar blends, visited not long ago, beautiful place not to be missed. Sur-lie aged for 6 months in neutral French oak, regular batonnage. Pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone and tropical fruits with citrus and floral notes, wonderful phenolics. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of melon, apricot and ripe apple with lemon citrus and vanilla wrapped in lively acidity, medium+ length ending with creamy citrus texture and slight yeasty notes. Wow! Very Nice!

Textured palate leads to a long finish of roasted pine nuts, star fruit and drying straw.

Fruit laden style, with only a wisp of vegetal notes, leesy and floral. Passionfruit, guava note. Drying style, with light phenolic. Creamy, with a hint of oak.

Nice balance overall. Alcohol a little higher than I prefer.
