    Despite this wine's spice and gravelly mouthfeel of stony texture, it's rich, round and voluptuous, its flavors recalling crème brûlée and caramel.

    This wine is heady in apple blossom and jasmine, deeply honeyed in color with an accompanying taste of honey and apple. Big on the nose, it impresses in surprising ways by being quite lean and well integrated on the palate, with a lingering heft of juicy ripeness on the finish.

    Offering deep complexity, this bold, brazen wine is decadent in caramel and toffee aromas and flavors, with a foundation of ripe Gravenstein apple and hazelnuts. The oak is pronounced but it adds more than it subtracts. Cellar through 2018.
