A brilliant gold / green crisp color. Looks great in the glass. Bernardus does not disappoint will a full flavored and medium bodied wine. Carmelized ( funny the winery is from Carmel Valley) jazz apple, comice pear, dry tangerine peal, tight guava, and a light touch of butterscotch and bitterness with ample acidity. This is very fruit driven, but some toast plus American oak is complimentary and may be the source of the bitterness. A touch of apple pie spice on the finish. I would rate this higher but the astringency and bitterness are too dominate. Have with food
