Tasting note

This should be on your radar as a premium house pour, as it has very broad appeal without alienating the serious aficionados in the crowd. There's a vague impression of sweetness mostly from ripe 2015 fruit (not residual sugar), but it's enough to fatten up the palate and develop flavours that flirt with the tropical fruit spectrum. Cool climate freshness and balance are still on display, alongside a lovely savoury-salty note. Tidy all around, especially for $19. Tasted March 2017. Score - 89.
