TASTING NOTE: This is fruit expressive and fragrant on the nose showing yellow peach, mango, rockmelon [cantaloupe] and vanilla characters with a touch of cedar complexity. The palate delivers generous fruit weight and intensity, wonderfully supported by creamy texture and bright acidity. The wine is immediate and friendly, and finishes long and succulent. At its best: now to 2019. Score - 90 (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Sept. 2016) Price $ 16.95
