Golden yellow colored with a nose of white flowers, citrus, and honeysuckle. Tastes of melon, Granny Smith apple, tangerine, pineapple, and oak. It is medium to full bodied with a moderate finish. I agree with others, very Rhone like, with Viognier up front. It may be a little sweet but pairs well with Teriyaki Salmon. Always a crowd favorite.

Starts off a little heavy with the buttery notes but over time, that fades and yields to more of a tropical stone fruit type thing, little bit of melon and vanilla flavors. Not bad but not particularly memorable, paired fairly well with a kale onion quiche and salad.

Initially, the oak was overwhelming and overshadowed the palate. With time, melon notes become prominent on nose and palate. Creamy, some acidity, with vanilla on finish. Interesting.

Tastes of apple, melon, lychee. A little sweet, but a crowd pleaser. One of my go to bottles for mixed crowds.

Drank a while back. Not memorable, not bad. No note taken.
