Wine Review: This pale yellow wine has a pretty forward cantaloupe bouquet. On the palate, this light bodied has light lemon like flavors. The mouthfeel is lively, crisp, and a touch acidic. The wine is not overly complex but appealing and nice. The finish is dry and pleasant.

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of green apple, pineapple and ripe stone fruit combine with a hint of cinnamon and toasted oak on the nose of this wine. The entry is bright and crisp with good acid and flavors of apricot, lemon and hints of mineral and wet stone. The wine finishes with multiple layers of honey, cream, vanilla and a touch of caramel from the "lees" stirred French oak.
