Palate
Perfect balance of fruit and acidity. Integrated flavors of white nectarine, dried apricots and honeysuckle with a hint of vanilla and lemon-lime florals.
Growing Conditions
The Alisos Hills vineyards are a wild place – where mule deer, wild boar and bobcats roam the riparian corridors. The region is very similar in profile to the rugged landscape of the Rhône Valley with its gravelly, sandy-loam soils on rolling hills covered in scrubby brush. This wild character shows up in the intense wines grown here and creates a depth of character that is unique inside California. High-density planting forces the roots deep into the soil for nutrients.
Aging
Aged 14 months in 100%neutral French & American oak.
