Stone and tropical fruits, hint of salinity with butter oak finish. Needs to come off a chill for the flavors to fully open up. Delicious with seared scallops.

Really lovely: a lot of flavor (nuts and apple pears) and sharp acidity. Not an over full mouthfeel, but a lingering saline minerality.

Very wonderful with food: an extra level of flavor merges after each bite.
