A master blend indeed! Subtly seductive oak spice folds together rounded melon and bright pear fruit on the nose and through the midpalate, finishing with a zesty pop of acidity that keeps the flavor pulsing, and a specific chamomile aroma note gets the glass back under your nose for another round. A mind-bender worthy of extended cellaring. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
