Nose
Opens with an intense nose of lemon bar, guava, flint, honeysuckle, and corn tortilla which evolves into hazelnut, lemon and orange zest, and Crème brûlée.
Palate
The gorgeous, vibrant palate begins and ends with minerality, bookending bartlett pear, green olive, and dried sage. This wine has terrific tension and drive, with freshness and flavors carrying beyond the long finish.
Winemaking
Whole bunch fermentation for a softer press and to preserve acids and flavors. 100% Malolactic Fermentation.
Aging
Aged 16 months in 35% new French oak
Food Pairing
Pair it with scallops in a lemon beurre blanc sauce, or a creamy asparagus and Parmesan risotto which will really help bring out the wine's yin-yang balance of coastal freshness and ripe fruit complexity.
