Review:
A bouquet of strawberries, raspberries, fresh herbs, and toasty vanilla rises up from a glass. Lively fruit red comes up front, with strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate leading the way, complimented by allusions of toasty butterscotch and wild herbs. Rather elegant, but still processing good structure and a balanced acidity, open a bottle when you serve veal or chicken parmigiana.

Peach, apricot, and guava aromas intermingle with notes of toasty oak, vanilla, and lemon peal on the nose. A sip unfurls flavors of apricots, mangoes, and guavas that coalesce with elements of lemon custard, butterscotch, and barrel spice. Rich but lifted by a fresh acidity, fans of balanced Chardonnay (not butter bombs) should seek this out.
