Another winner from winemaker Tim Slater from a locale you may not be aware of. Bright acidity carries lively lemon and baked apple flavors, and judicious oak use adds interest without interfering. This is a very nice wine for fish dishes, or my kind of solo glass. It’s going to age nicely as well.
