Tasting notes: The aromas closely follow the palate with similar layers but much more focused on the palate. Medium bodied layers of apple, pear tangerine, lemon and orange zest with a moderately strong acidity and hint of saline. The oak is a distant undertone at first and it only resembles oak in a vague way. As this woody aspect expands its similar to oak and cedar smoke, if that makes any sense. Either way it works well with the acidity and doesn’t overpower the fruit.
