Nose

You are received by rich aromas of brioche, Gravenstein
apple and lemon zest.

Palate

An elegant, pristine palate leads with lemon zest, honeycomb, and raw
almonds, and finishes with crushed gravel and wet stone.

Growing Conditions

2014 was the third straight outstanding growing season in a row, following the excellent
2012 and 2013 vintages. Dry winter and spring conditions limited canopy vigor, and a warm growing
season with a lack of extreme heat spikes resulted in prolonged, even ripening through harvest. The
resulting wines possess great site specificity, depth and quality.
