Seemingly built on toasty oak and a bit of sugar more than it is on readily defined fruit, this rounded, moderately viscous wine hints loosely at ripe apples but is essentially sweet, soft, simple and finished with excessive heat.

Rating for United States-California-Central Coast: 92 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: drink now<br/>
