Yawn....
It's a wheater so by definition not a lot going on flavor wise. Sure its sweet and reasonably smooth. A little floral and fruity on the nose. Decent mouth feel. Crisp, sweet, and bright, but the flavor has no depth beyond bananas, apple, and vanilla. What you smell is what you taste and the taste doesn't change over the course of the chew and swallow. Then the tart starts to kick in with the oak. Finish is okay, starts out too bitter and astringent, before fading to crisp apples and fruit with a little sweet vanilla. Mouthfeel is the best part, but it just makes me want a lot more flavor.
Why anyone would hunt this out or pay more than MSRP is beyond me. It's not objectionable, and is a decent product, but really a 3.8 average on here? The demand is a marketing racket hype machine at its worst. Maker's is better (still nothing remarkable), and much more available.

Total Wine in Houston. Total Wine here has it in stock in the back usually, you just have to ask for it and they'll go get it for you.
where'd you find it for this price?
