Oak rules this wine. If that’s what you’re after, then this wine will satisfy you immensely. I’m not a big fan of the buttery oakiness that this wine exudes, but I still found it reasonably enjoyable and certainly worth the 8 bucks I paid for it. It paired well with the fish and the grilled chicken dishes, the oak actually accentuating both nicely. Other flavor components include vanilla, pear and apples. The nose is floral and pleasant. It's a little unbalanced, with the acidity too weak. The finish is also a little short and leaves a bit of a burnt aftertaste. All-in-all, though, not a bad food-friendly wine to keep around for the summer.
