Review:
Lovely aromas of critus fruits and honey combine on the nose. A sip unfurls flavors of lemon, sweet lime, and grapefruit with suggestions of minerals and honey. Lush fruit is in harmony with the wine’s dry, balanced acidity. Barrel aging gives it a nice, round body. This is a rich wine white that will compliment crab or shellfish very nicely.
