There’s a pleasantly oxidized element to this wine from Michael Mooney (who also makes Chateau Margene from Paso Robles’ Creston district). Aromas recall honey and dried apricots, mangos and bananas. The flavors carry that forward, with caramelized apples, melted marshmallow and all types of dried fruit, but with lots of acidic verve too.
