Soft, clean, and in good balance, this would pair nicely with trout almondine. The nose leads with apples and tangerines. Soft baked apples lead on the palate, tangerines follow on the mid-palate. Half the grapes were whole bunch pressed and there was no malolactic fermentation. Recommended. 89 points.
