Wonderfully aromatic, key lime pie, ripe nectarine, and fresh cut lilacs rise from the glass. Floral aromas of honeysuckle and jasmine paired with bright, freshly ground cinnamon spice seize your senses. The palate is lush and juicy, with tropical flavors lychee, dragon fruit, and kiwi, while playful undertones of lemongrass and orange soda balance the creamy finish. This wine has a beautifully bright acidity with a graceful mouth feel that is extremely well balanced with a creamy rich texture. This wine is an epic food wine!
