Nose
Aromas of crisp melon and baked lemon curd with a hint of honey.
Palate
Flavors of citrus, guava blossom and pear. The mouthfeel is surprisingly soft with a delightfully clean finish and just a touch of ginger.
Growing Conditions
The 2010 vintage will be remembered as one of the coolest growing seasons on record. This cool weather during bloom caused the vines to set a light crop and continuing through the growing season slowed the ripening of the grapes. This resulted in a harvest delayed by several weeks without a drop in acid. The combination of a light crop and extra hang time on the vines produced fruit of excellent concentration and character.
