This is another brand from Charles Smith of K Vintners. 50% of the Frenchmen Hills spends 9 months in concrete and the other 50% spends 9 months in neutral oak. On the nose, Meyer lemon, lime, green apple, touch of sulfur, cream and yellow lilies. The palate is fresh and transitions to slightly sour. Fruits of; lemon & lime zest, overripe pineapple, grapefruit, touch of green apple, a little cream, honeycomb, body is a touch oily, yellow lilies, minerality is powdery but crisp, the acidity bright and round with a rich, slight creamy beautiful finish. I certainly like this more than the "Uncovered."
