Bright and gleaming in medium-deep yellow color, this wine is forward in fruit and oak on the nose. It smells of ripe peach, toasted brioche, sweet spice and vanilla extract. The palate offers more of the same, alongside notes of lemon-lime spritzer and soft-stemmed herbs. The medium-bodied palate boasts bracing acidity that’s nicely balanced by mouthcoating viscosity. The feathery layers of flavors lead to a generous finish and suggest this might hold on well. Drink now through 2018.
