Top Notes For
Randy Fuller

This wine has a straw color with light green highlights. The nose is unremarkable, with barely a hint of lemon and flowers coming up from the glass. The palate comes on strong, by comparison. There are notes of Meyer lemon, white nectarine, apricot, and peach., all readily available. The acidity is quite fresh, but there is quite a bit of oak spice. This surprised me, considering the exposure to oak was only six months.
