Magnum, Wow! Drinking at a wonderful spot right now! Notes of creamy lemon and baking spice on the nose. A little vanilla and some citrus oil on the palate. Wonderfully balanced, a little, well integrated, oak, and nice acidity. Went phenomenally with crab cakes as well as a lower sugar, lemon cake. Terrific, classy, gorgeous, stuff!

Started with a nose that says pure butter bomb so put away for a day. Much better. But the fruit has pulled back to the point where the true qualities found in younger years make this a very different wine. Pure Cali in its youth. And if buying CA wine isn;t that the expression you want? Today its nice but ultimately a bit faded, thus disappointing. Others gushed...

Just lovely. A bit heavy on the nose with oak but dissipated quickly on the palate to reveal layers of lush tropical fruit with just a hint of butter. Drink now.

Surprisingly still very tasty. Oak has faded but fruit - lemon and pear - are still quite pleasing
