Not a blockbuster, a well-rounded attempt. Yet, for the price, I am usually overwhelmed by the Martinelli wines. This one was simply not as "interesting" as the rest. So, for the price, I don't think that it was worth it. Also, the flavor profile for me seemed to be on the way down.

Light gold color...wandering nose of citrus, a little sweet melon, some stone fruit, and a strong backing of oak. The oak was just short of "over the top" for me on the palate, but was saved by a strong fruity mid palate and a nice lengthy finish...plenty of life left for laying down.

Pure butterscotch at this point, but enough minerality to keep from being cloying/disaster
