Nose
The nose is elegant and fresh, floral and spicy.
Palate
The palate is concentrated, combining pear and apple with vivid apricot. It has a wonderful freshness paired with a real depth of flavors, and the finish is long and slightly peppery.
Growing Conditions
An early bud break, one of the longest flowering periods in years, and a long growing season produced a vintage that shines in quality. Spring started fast and the early bloom was followed by cooler temperatures, wind and rains which slowed development and reduced yields. The result was a small crop of well-concentrated fruit that ripened fully and slowly before an early harvest in August.
Aging
Stainless steel and neutral French oak
Appearance
Palish yellow green in color.
