Napa Valley
A seductive nose of pineapple, pear, vanilla
and buttered toast leads, followed by a nicely knit, well-fruited,
but not-at-all sweet palate. Here, pear, melon, pineapple
and tangerine is offset by light toast and vanilla accents.
Balanced and smoothly textured, it shows graceful restraint
that suggests it will improve over the next year or two.
