Critic's Review Vanilla cream soda nose with a slice of fresh cut pineapple. Full body, tropical fruit, spice and pleasing vanilla oak note linger in the finish. Sweet flavor on the palate is from sur-lie aging the wine on the primary dead yeast lees for 7 months. A versatile style of wine that can be served chilled with fine cuisine or a glass with friends. Certified Green by Lodi Rules Sustainable Winegrowers.
My Thoughts This wine is heavy with tropical fruit. It is tangy. Hints of pineapple and melon are cut by an oaky finish. Cinnamon and vanilla pair with the fruit aromas on the nose. An easy wine to drink, this white would also be a good summer drink. For me, the oak and tropical fruit pairing was especially pleasing on the palate.
This wine was not paired with any food.
