A 6-month in French oak with full lees contact from new Jackson-Triggs winemaker Levi DeLoryn - his first solo effort with the Grand Reserve. Lots going on here: vanilla, apple, pear with subtle oaky notes, but with good acidity and a lush mouthfeel. It also shows a little minerality which appears along with some pineapple and banana cream on the finish. An interesting, intriguing and ultimately delicious first effort.
