White petals, citrus crispness, gentle vanilla, spicy cinnamon on the nose. The palate unfolds layers of fresh lime, deep, abundant rich fruitiness, and tingling spices - all wrapped in harmonious notes of mellow French oak. Aromatic, fresh, intense and fruity. |
“A California Chardonnay or oaky Australian Semillon look-alike, it offers a rich toasted oak-laden nose, a gorgeously supple texture, and smoky melon flavors.”
