A vanilla and creaminess on the nose. The flavor was citrus like and had a good amount of buttery flavor. The wine is a nice solid bottle that may have done a little better had it had a little more acid on the palate.

Pale yellow color, with some green hues. Grass, minerals, nuts and butter, both on the nose and the palate. Medium bodied, spicy and complex wine, but I think that the fruit is covered by the excessive presence of oak. Medium aftertaste.

Unusual nose of burning rubber and grapefruit. On the palate, this maintains a burnt component, but the minerality really takes center stage, with a slightly bitter citrus (not just grapefruit) flavor in the background. This was much more complex than I ever expected, and was a very pleasnt surprise. Terrific value at $14.

14.5% alcohol. Massive body. Cookie flavors. Spicy. Very different. Unpleasant oily and greasy texture.
