Reviews & Accolades:
"Stylish and seductively complex with aromas of ripe peach, grapefruit, vanilla, almond meal, and cedar. It's concentrated and richly textured in the mouth, exhibiting outstanding depth and weight, wonderfully framed by elegant texture and beautifully infused acidity, finishing impressively long and structured. Exquisitely poised and harmonious, this should evolve graciously."
