Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of browning sweet yellow apple, almond, dried white flowers, and orange marmalade with a round, bright, dryish medium body and a layered, medium-length finish that exhibits accents of yellow apple and lemon juice, dried white flowers, marzipan, and apricot and cantaloupe. A lovely Northern Rhone blend that is just starting to show some age and oxidative character and hitting the peak drinking window now.
