Nose

Ripe, almost bruised orchard fruits like apple and baked pear come through on a medium, but thick aromatic profile.

Palate

Subtle oak notes compliment rather than takeover the freshness of the fruit. Candied lemon and chamomile dance around. The palate is full and on the low end of medium sweetness, lovely acid balance.

Aging

Food Pairing

Spicy potato poppers, baked ziti alfredo, lobster bisque with some heat, stuffed and baked Gulf oysters, and chicken with mushroom cream sauce
