The name fits to a T: Undergoing full malolactic and aged seven months in 100% French oak, this wine is indeed big, bold, and buttery, bolstered by strokes of vanilla. But it also achieves balance in suggestions of fresh pear, baking spice, and potpourri that make it a winner among lovers of the style.
This standby for everyday enjoyment exudes that sunny California style: Kicking off with aromas of pineapple, lemon custard, buttered toast, and nutmeg, it combines a round mouthfeel with good acidity amid vanilla-splahsed notes of fleshy pear. Banana makes a cameo appearance on the finish.
Well-tailored with fine acidity amplifying Key lime and tangerine sorbet. A hint of butter cream weaves through its elegant middle.
Cassis and wildflowers are a force strong with this one. Dark chocolate and ripe cherry smoulder from the glass. Raspberries and potpourri accompany a svelte body that hums with sophistication. There is a hint of eucalyptus and a pinch of sage on a sinewy structure that doesn’t overpower.
Subtle strength defines the aromatics, with notes of rose, cola and cedar. The edges are round and flavors carom on the plate. Spices and hints of smoke emerge, jacketed in a solid tannic structure with a torrent bramble berry fruit compote.
Perfectly balanced, with toasted macadamia, tangerine, peach, and lime blossom. Round and sumptuous, impacting the palate with a creamy wash of vanilla custard. Aged 12 months in 35% new French oak.
Cherries and red tea rise from the earth, with floral tones of hibiscus and rose. Coaxed by vibrant acidity, cinnamon toast with dots of balsamic and nutmeg are seductive.
