In stark contrast to the last 3 reviews, this wine was advertised to be a 2016 on a Bob's Steak and Chophouse wine menu (in Nashville) and was really quite good with calamari, halibut and seared /herbed tomahawk pork chops. The one thing to note was that the wine had bled through 80% of the cork at least on the sides. Came out intact. Color was a light to medium straw. Nose was yellow fruit dominant. Palate was rather thick mouthfeel, some bright acidic character and a hint of limestone grit. Yellow peach, banana, kumquat, ripe Bartlett pears, finishing with a bit of white pepper. Very balanced wine. I don't think this one is getting any better, so drink up and enjoy. Requires no decanting.

Had two bottles many months apart. Neither were very good. Either both corked or this just didn’t work for us. Not a lot of fruit and seemed almost astringent

Tropical, sea breezy aromas of orchard fruit, orange creamsicle, lemon oil, and brioche. Layered, vinous, and structured on the spice-driven palate, with wisps of buttery oak that lend a gentle richness to the satiny, taffeta-like texture. Spicy ginger expands on the long, resinous finish.
