Pretty interesting South African white blend. Very dry, lemon drop sweetness and bitterness.

Planned to wait on this a bit more but saw it on clearance at KL so ripped into it. Whoa.....if there were such things as juicy flowers and honey spice water I'd feel like I just tasted them. Despite 14.5 alc the wine feels super balanced and luscious. Yeah, aromatically you get a little warmth but all the other things here mitigate it. I'm going to help KL with their clearance efforts. #suckers

2015 in 6/23. The most golden of apples, light honey tones, mild cooked pineapple so stellar. Might be my last of these =( KL from pre Cali departure times I think and at $25 vs the normal$40. Shows lighter bodied in Rdl Burg vs more structured and firm in the AP. Can't make up my mind. Cellar temp is also doing great things, I'm afraid to put it in the fridge. Love!
