- Excerpt: he nose is quite sharp and full of mushroom notes, with a palate heavy with notes of teriyaki beef jerky, more black pepper, and grilled portobellos. A moderate smoke pervades all of this, never quite integrating with the whole, and leading to a funky, vegetal-heavy finish.

Nose:
Sweet grape, lightly nutty, sour wine and lovely crushed stone. Lemon, lime, blue cheese stuffed olive.
-
Taste:
Sweet, loaded with cream and vanilla bean. Lemon peel, fresh cracked pepper. Light olive note. Faint mango. Lots going on. Big fan.
-
Finish:
Long, sweet and fruity. Chalky, loaded with crushed stone and faint sweetness.
-
Overall:
Really pretty enjoyable. Pretty unique as well. Loving the fruit and crushed stone, almost come across as a fruity sauv blanc at times.
