"Bright yellow with a steady bead. Leesy pear and white peach aromas are complemented by buttered toast and smoky minerals. Nicely concentrated, mineral-inflected orchard fruit flavors are braced by tangy minerals and a suave note of orange pith. Long, juicy and fresh on the finish, with the orange note repeating."
