Very nice, for a readily available, relatively large production wine. Notes of light toasty oak/popcorn kernel, lemon butter scone, ginger jellies, jasmine, and honeysuckle. Very well balanced with ripe fruit, and bracing acidity to back it up. A little heat showing through the 14.8%, but not heavy or overbearing. 92 pts.
So much wine.....so little time!!!
