Pale gold in color, this has a reserved but rich nose of golden apple, peach, apricot, and some vanilla and toast notes from the oak. Similar on the palate—quite a bit of weight for a region-level wine, but not all that expressive in terms of flavor profile. Some butter and some stone fruit, decent acidity, and a medium-length, simple finish. Good balance and well made, just not that much character. Not sure about the value at $20+.

Lemon. Some leesy butteriness. Flinty minerality. Good acidity. Great balance here throughout. Maybe not ultimately super-complex, but excellent qpr ($24) and just a satisfying drink.

Bel base, molto giocato su note burrose, di mela verde e pietra focaia e con una bevibilità assassina

Mostly used/neutral oak. Lean, crisp, dried apple, pear, lemon peel, good acidity. Very effective wine, should be great pairing with light food.
