Bright medium to deep yellow. Fruit forward nose yet still layered and complex with tropical fruits, citrus, a little banana, a touch creamy and floral. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and full bodied. Definitely beefed up on day two and got thicker. Very tropical with a similar banana note on the palate. Creamy mid palate with some nuttiness. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2021.

Excellent for only $25.00.

Sample from Estate. Deep and clear yellow, love this wine from the start, so visually appealing. Beautifully complex nose that started off with a little bit of oak influence, toasted nuts. Layers created the complexity with notes of stone fruits, and some citrus, almost like a lemon curd. Day two the nose got a little sappier, as in thicker and dark with some honeysuckle. Moderate acidity (6.5/10) and full bodied. Creamy mid palate with vanilla bean and honeysuckle in the front. Long finish that brings through a more Burgundy feel with lemon and a little minerality. Absolutely delicious and killer value for only $25.00. Drink now or enjoy till 2023.
