Palate
The delicate light golden-green straw appearance of the 2012 Fascination is followed by intricately delineated and multilayered aromatics that dynamically weave between the mineralness of wet slate and the richness and complexity of tropical fruits. On the pallet, the flavors develop and expand with depth and roundness that culminate in a long and refreshing finish.
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.
