  Enjoying the age on this wine as it deepens the exotic fruit nature that's integrated with a nutty (cashew?) vanilla creaminess across the palate with a light acidity. Went well with crab cakes.

  Very California. Lots of creamy weight, lots of alcohol. The fruit is in the tropical range, but it's restrained, even elegant. Oak is prominent but pleasant to my tastes.
  
  I don't love this style of wine. It pairs poorly with most food due to the weight, alcohol, and relatively low acidity. But there is a certain nobleness to this wine, and it's good for drinking on its own.

  Although this is an elegant wine, the nose seemed muted and lacked in ultra rich flavor. The wine was consumed in a BYOB Italian restaurant. Mouth feel was silky with notes of pear, soft sweet lemon, soft vanilla, and apple. DRINK NOW!
