California, United StatesBig honey, floral, butter, quince, citrus, ginger nose with a touch of sausage meat. Soft, ripe, round, dry palate with ginger, mineral, honey, butter, and citrus rind flavours with a touch of melon on the finish. A bit warm on the finish but a bit more balance than past editions.
