Palate
The nose is deep, complex and rich with ripe pear, butterscotch and hints of toasted marshmallow. The mouthfeel is full and balanced, showcasing spice that marry with pear to last endlessly on the palate.
Growing Conditions
"Classic" and "perfect" are just two accolades being bestowed upon the 2012 Napa Valley growing season and harvest. Textbook conditions saw near-ideal spring bud break, steady flowering, even fruit set, and a lengthy stretch of warm days and cool and often foggy nights during the long summer months. Late and light rains held off until Napa Valley's treasured wine grapes found optimal ripeness, bringing exceptional quality to the crush pad and into the cellar.
