Aromas of nectarine and orange zest lead the way on the nose, with slightly sour yet pleasing flavors of apple, peach, kiwi, white chocolate and butterscotch carrying the palate. Gritty tannins coat the mouth and then drop off, leading to a smooth finish. (Wine Enthusiast)

This is a wine best served with meats. Delicious with pork and poultry dishes but get daring and see how this wine can shine paired with lamb.
