February 28, 2021 - Lovely honey-tinged yellow color, a touch of toast on the nose. Richly nuanced: white pepper, honeydew melon, peach and pear flavors. Great mouthfeel. This is a big wine. Impressive

December 22, 2019 - Beautiful light amber honey color. Melon and honeysuckle nose. Passion fruit, mango, papaya, undergirded by a touch of unripe stone fruit. Outstanding effort!
