DOZEN: $540.00 or $45.00 each
Quite a smokey nose but a lot of ripe mango flavors, too. This balances a rich texture and bright acidity very nicely. The finish is long for a second wine. JAMES SUCKLING.
Plenty of botrytis adding marmalade and exotic fruits to the engaging mix of citrus oil, stone fruits and fresh flowers. I feel like there is a little more Sauv Blanc here, than may be typical, due to this exotic, tropical fruit and ginger flower component, I couldn't find the cepage though, so just a guess. It's not overly sweet, but there is enough thickness and viscosity to leave no doubt as to what you are drinking. The acidity plays its all important role in keeping things upbeat, fresh and clean. The finish is impressively long and carried by the sugar while being enlivened by the acid. Excellent and supper value. ROSCOE
