A unique and wildly tropical expression, with forward pineapple and guava aromas that come through clearly as palate flavors. A stony streak joins in and keeps things from being perceived as overtly sweet, and racy acidity gives the finish a nice push, where fruit and stone blossom together. Toss this in a blind flight and watch the eyebrows rise.
