Ripe yellow peach and honeydew melon show immediate appeal, the oak sitting prominently alongside. The texture runs creamy and full, though the fruit feels slightly pinched in the mid-palate. Good acid backbone keeps things moving. Not the estate's most focused effort. More about immediate pleasure than complexity.
