This is a Chairman's Selection in Pennsylvania, for a measly $12. An appealing nose of apple and osmanthus (or maybe a little dried apricot). On the palate, zesty acidity and more orchard fruits. The finish is elegant and lovely, and this was fabulous with sushi. In a few months, we'll be in the Outer Banks, cooking pristine fish, fresh off the boat. I told my wife, we need to have a few bottles of this wine, because it's a stunner.
A spritz of lime on a rather shy nose, on the palate, a little thin, but with generous swirling, some lovely tropical fruits are manifest. It's a little sleepy out of the gate, but after around a quarter hour, it really blooms. A nice midweek quaffer, would be lovely with seafood in the summer.

Big oak bomb, decent value if that's your scene. A bit sweet, not enough acidity. Pretty good with dark chocolate, though...
