The color is gold and copper, shining bright and clear. Honeyed pears, fresh-cut peaches, and apricot pair with huge white florals, honeysuckle and magnolia, on the nose. Unctuous sweet fruits, pears in honey, peaches in syrup, candied apricots, flow over and around the palate. On the mid-palate caramel apples shine
Aromas of honeysuckle and magnolia roll up in waves from the glass. Ripe white peach coats the palate up front, then sour apple zings across, followed by slate and apricot. The finish last a long time. Acids are bright, mouth-feel round. This is a lovely wine at a very moderate

Sweet salinity in a bottle. Pears and honey sing the lead, salinity and ginger give a strong doo-wop backup. Mouth-feel is very round, gently coating the mouth. Acids give a zing that sneak out from under the fruit and leads to a sweet citrus driven finish, white grapefruit and key
