  Nose: stone fruit, mineral, wax apple, apricot, and crisp scent with lemon and hint of honey. Taste: slightly off drink (2), and honey, lemon, and ripe pineapple. Was apple and peach. It has a dense mouthfeel and almost drinks like a sweeter reisling. I get a little keylime pie. It is very approachable for general public that might not be that much into dry wine or wine in general. Best on it's own. finish is a little off aligned from the rest.

  Nose: pear and apricot, with some good minerality and just a hint of clover honey. Really attractive nose. Taste: slightly off-dry (2) with notes of ripe apricot, pineapple, peach, and candied lemon peel. Fairly rich mouth feel with juicy finish that lingers on the citrus note. Midpalate is primarily the tangy pineapple note with some fresh lime juice, cutting the sweetness in an appealing way. Extremely tasty, well-balanced and enjoyable sipper. 90.
