Nose
The rich aromas of Asian pear, ripe apple, and a delicate touch of honey and vanilla greet your on the nose.
Palate
With each sip of wine you get a rich and creamy mousse and some lingering fruit from the nose. This is built on by a bit of crème brûlée and stone fruit layered over black cherry. The finish is long and wraps up with hints of fresh ginger.
Growing Conditions
The 2010 vintage will be remembered as one of the coolest growing seasons on record. Cool weather during bloom caused a light drop and also slowed the ripening of the grapes which delayed the harvest. The combination of a light crop and extra hang time on the vines produced fruit of excellent concentration and character.
