Review from Beverage Testing Institute
Golden yellow color. Aromas of caramel drizzled apples, salted pretzels, bananas foster, and a ripe tropical fruit with a velvety, vibrant, fruity medium body and a smooth, elegant, long hints of smoky dark roasted coffee, peach tart, and pina colada finish with heavy oak flavor. A sultry, velvety Chardonnay with copious amounts of fancy oak and decadent style; drink up.
