  White and yellow peach along with white apple and some light citrus notes on the nose. Medium bodied (8% ABV) with white and yellow peach upfront along with some slightly more white orchard fruit notes as highlights. Mid-body has a combination of good richness and good acidity which imparts a zing of contrast, particularly on the backside. The mid-body is golden peach and tropical notes but with the acidity based backbone, everything is kept in balance. The acidity is starting to integrate a bit on the far back and while it should drink well over the next several years, as it integrates, it will lose some of the fruit definition that makes it special today.
