Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Medium-light golden yellow; attractive, intense, buttery, melon and green apple aroma with floral, citrusy notes and hints of vanilla, roasted hazelnut, and honeysuckle; medium-full to full body; crisp, citrus and baked apple flavors with undertones of toasty oak and minerality; lingering aftertaste. Should continue to develop with another year or two of bottle aging. Very highly recommended. 14.3% alcohol; 100% barrel fermentation; 0% malolactic fermentation; released November 2011. Score: 91 Source: Nicholas Ponomareff, California Grapevine

Serve this wine between 55-60 degrees Farenheit or 12-16 degrees Celsius. Tip: If your bottle is at room temperature, put it in ice water for about 30 minutes or in the fridge for about three hours to chill it.
