TASTING COMMENTS

Allen Meadows: “A fruity and fresh nose speaks of primarily pear and apricot aromas. There is good mid-palate fat on the delicious and citrus-inflected flavors that culminate in a clean and agreeably dry finish of acceptable depth and length. This should drink well almost immediately.”
