Much bigger wine than I remember with toasted oak, Asian pears, citrus, a soft/ oily palate coating texture. This blend is very interesting and I think that it would do better with less oak.
Tasted over two evenings, Vacu-vin'd between. The first night showed significant acid that balanced out the oak somewhat but the oak still won. The second night showed fading acid and less apparent oak - a much better experience.
This was quite a nice value find at Zerba's Woodinville tasting room for $16 during a recent tasting adventure.
