Deep golden color with a nose that is dusty and austere. Dried apricot flavors mingle on the nose with some light flower hints. Round adn with a medium to high acidity this wine is not in yoru face but rather sits back and observes from a distance. Rich peach flavors combine with the apricot to make a nice wine. 3.5/5
