Really nice balance of fruit and oak. Some butterscotch and tropical fruits in the nose, nice citrus, lemon and apples on the palate and a fresh finish with some toasty, spice notes.
C'mon folks. This is great juice. What's the problem here? Not even done in a controversial oak bomb style; far from it. Lemony acidity zings, and carries through to bittersweet orange marmalade. There's a band of richness, but it's tropical fruit; tasting papaya and guava. Pleasing hint of oaky marshmallow. Medium finish, nice weight and expansiveness. Needs to come up from fridge temp to hit stride.

SF Wineberserkers Offline (BerserkerDay) (San Francisco, CA): Creamy, Californian style, palate is a bit oaky. Nice, but not a highlight. 84
