APPEARANCE 10/10 points. Color is light yellow, with a very, very faint hint of green. Medium-slow legs. Clear.
AROMA 17/20 points. Nice strength. Lime, pineapple, apples, citrus. The oak is faint. Vanilla.
FLAVOR 37/40 points. This one also has good balance. It is just a slight bit bitter. The fruit is faint. It is apricot and melon, plus some faint citrus. There is a lot of dark spice in this one. The end-palate is rich with oak and vanilla.
BODY AND FINISH 27/30 points. Medium-full bodied. Texture is a bit tingly from the spice. But it is also smooth and creamy. Good finish. The oak and vanilla carry through the end.
TOTAL SCORE: 91 points.

A nose of citrus and some spice, medium yellow in color. A medium bodied white, with apple, pear, vanilla and toasty oak. A good value.
