Winemaker's Tasting Notes: The 2008 Brut Jones has generous tropical aromas of mango and pineapple, which are followed by hints of ginger, honey and lemon custard. The palate entices with bright flavors of white peach, pineapple and mandarin orange. Crisp on entry while rich and lingering on the palate, the wine delivers from start to finish.
