Crystalline, gleaming and bright in appearance, this wine is dark yellow in color, with a thin white rim. The nose is definitively oaky, showing gobs of toasted wood spice and Christmas cake nuance. It tastes of baked apples and crumb-crusted white cherry cobbler. Surprisingly given the sweeter tones of the nose, the palate is a bit hard and firm. Enjoy now through early 2018.
