Dry, medium-full bodied, quite well structured, flavourful, quite cedary, fairly intense, key lime pie-tinged flavours with a lingering, very toasty, fairly crisp, somewhat resiny, pineapple-tinged finish. Try with turkey. Has 13.5% alcohol and 3 g/L residual sugar. I preferred he recommended 2013 (***) released on December 12, 2015 at $27.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BUY - Spicy, herbaceous, sweet grapefruit nose with a floral note; medium-bodied, dry, well-balanced, fresh and lively on the palate with peach and lime flavours. |

| TASTING NOTE: Taking a page from the Bordeaux and Pouilly-Fumé playbook, Hidden Bench ferments the fruit for this wine in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is rich and structured, with melon, gooseberry, passion fruit and tropical fruit all beautifully framed by a smoky-flinty mineral tone. Complex and great. Wow, what a wine!
