Wildly busy nose of honeysuckle, creamy tropical fruits (banana), and hazelnut. Round, opulent, and really showing the 15.5% alc. on the palate. Makes me crave grilled lobster w/ butter.

Pleasant aromatic white blend, but the higher alcohol and lower acidity throws it a little off balance.

Full throttle oak and alcohol. Rich with nice aromatics but it just didn't do it for me.

Lots of interesting things going on here w the 2012. Has changed a lot but still vibrant! Vanilla, ripe honeydew, lime fruit ring candy. Crazy good, just so different w a decade on it.

Not for me but anyone who enjoys a sweet non acidic white should apply for this one. Summer picnic?

Nice extracted fruit character. Little too much oak Very classic Orin Swift.

A good white blend. Moderate oak, high alcohol, nice aromatics, lacks acid. Popcorn wine.
