Golden yellow. Ripe red apple, some grapefruit and even exotic fruit (pineapple, lychee). Balance is not great, acidity and alcohol rule. The wine shows fatigue and is past its prime.

The Garuma vineyard is planted on a west facing slope with plenty of cool breezes from the coast that provides a slow and steady ripening process. 5% of the fruit is fermented and matured in second use oak barriques. It has a crisp green pea and cat’s pee nose. Good clean palate. Not over exciting, but very pleasant. Very Good.
