Total agreement with R&M, now it's developed rich lychee nut components along with the orange, etc. This is truly an amazing value. A knockout with the right cheeses, where's the orange chicken? Would love to throw this into a blind tasting

The aromatics are gorgeous, boasting mandarin orange, dried apricot, fresh mint, tea, and minerals. A melange of tropical fruit opens the palate, merging with arising tones of roasted nut oil and tangerine citrus. The finish is long and filled with orange peel, vanilla bean, and a hint of smoke. The wine has a fantastic rich but paradoxically fresh mouth feel with a well delineated progression on the palate. This has great aromatics and nice fully developed flavors, as well as distinctly refreshing finish. R&M 90

Unscrewed and poured. Pale gold. Appealing and expressive nose which showed wildflowers, citrus fruits and a hint of tropical fruit. Bright, acidic and refreshing. Light bodied. Juicy satsuma orange with a dose of lime juice. Medium finish with a hint of saline. Paired with Epoisses and Grayson cheeses. Performed wonderfully as the "beautiful sauce" created a complex floral bouquet in your mouth.

Rich color and nice flavors. Smooth and balanced. Nose, gets a little richer as it warms up...do not serve too cold...
