Out of 5 stars, I rated this wine: 3.5

Pale lemon, this 60% oaked wine offers upfront aromas of spiced pear, lemon, acacia honey and butter. The volcanic soil gives it a spicy note, while the deft use of oak imparts a full, rich texture, with cedar undertones in the lingering finish. Pair it with pan fried lemon sole, topped with toasted slivered almonds and grilled zucchini.
