Oily, slightly sweaty aromas of orange and citrus peel lead to a chunky, melony palate. This tastes yeasty and of basic white fruits, while a bready tasting, slightly flat finish is low on acidity.

Savory, spicy, herbal berry aromas lead to a sinewy palate that's full of acidity and chop. Oaky plum flavors are woody and a bit muddled, while this wine tastes of oaky red fruits on a fiery finish.
