WineDiva's Review

Complete, complex, textural.
As always, you'll find impressive balance on this higher residual sugar (RS) reserve version which was grown on a St. Hubertus vineyard in Kelowna, planted in 1978. This back vintage is showing well; aromas of orange blossoms and lime, apricots and honey lead to a juicy and off-dry palate with apple-y, honey and apricot flavours. Excellent complexity and concentration with some appealing textural components in the mouth. Fresh and lengthy and complete.


 
Recommended Pairings
Spicy Food, Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers, Cheese - Soft/Creamy
