From first sniff on through to its very long finish, this wonderfully rich and generously filled wine is fixed on immense ripe-apple fruit. Its juicy flavors are fit with lots of creamy, caramelly oak, and its sensations of honey further its come-hither appeals. It is big, but very well-balanced and is all Californian in style, and its fleshy, mouthfilling manner makes it it a sympathetic partner to dishes ranging from roast chicken to lightly sauced pork.
