Lovely on the nose, with a round bouquet featuring honey and almond in addition to fresh sea air. Impeccably smooth and whole across the palate, with pure stone-fruit flavors and a subdued nuttiness. Polished, full and complex, with subtlety.

Talk about a nose that reflects the ocean: Initial aromas of clam shells and sea foam are almost offputting, but once you taste the wine there’s a good mix of papaya, green banana and dried stone fruits. On the finish, cinnamon-spiced applesauce flavors mingle with hints of white pepper. Not bad, but a little shaky on the nose.
