The saturated, golden color is perplexing because you might think the wine is oxidized. Yet, once you bring your nose to the glass, you will be happily surprised by pine nut, melon, Golden Delicious apple and a touch of maple syrup. It’s creamy in the mouth with toasted notes that ride over a long finish. Pair with roasted pork.——M.L.(5/1/2007)—— 86
