Complex nose sporting aromas of lemon curd, pineapple, honeycomb, guava and char. Lusciously appointed with ostentatious pineapple flavor. Soft and creamy in the mouth with enough supportive acidity to lift up. Very California in tropical fruit character but very Hawaii in its pineapple theme. Score: 92.

Oak-kissed cherry and red berry fruit form the vibrant and juicy core of this wine. Forward drinking, with silken tannins and a cherry-driven finish.
