Ripe apple, butterscotch and key lime aromas open to a rich palate interlaced with flavors of pineapple, lemon and toast. The key to this wine is the unusually fine balance struck between richness and acidity. Delicious with lobster, salmon, firecracker shrimp, grilled pork loin, roast chicken and creamy pasta dishes. Seasoning affinities include ginger, nutmeg, tarragon and Meyer lemon.
