boysenberry

the middle weight flavors possess a sleeker and more refined texture that is aided by the abundant dry extract that buffers the firm but not rustic tannins shaping the impressively persistent finish

this supple red also evokes fresh cherry

This is a prototypical 2008 that captures the very best qualities of the year

plenty of tannins from 14 months in oak

Clos Naudin (Foreau), Vouvray Moelleux Reserve other_regions_italy boysenberryRich golden yellow. Expansive aromas of caramelized apricot, white peach, date, banana and butter cream are layered in the noble botrytis. Rich, spicy tropical fruits coat the palate, but a finely chiseled, chalky minerality keep this chenin blanc remarkably light on its feet. Dense but not at all heavy, it finishes long and not at all cloying. Delicious. Joel B. Payne
