Review

Medium-light to medium golden yellow color; attractive, assertive, buttery, spiced pear and tropical fruit aroma with notes of lemon, vanilla, and toasty oak; mediumfull body; crisp, pear and tropical fruit flavors with well integrated oak and bright acidity hinting of lemon zest; lingering aftertaste. Showed good depth and intensity. Very highly recommended. (First place winner in Nick's tasting)
