Nose
Bright aromas of pear, white peach and stone fruits.
Palate
Tropical flavors on the palate with papaya and Asian pear
apple, and just a kiss of sweet toasted oak. A rounded and
fulll-bodied wine that lingers on your taste buds.
Growing Conditions
2018 began with a cool spring and good rainfall. Moderate
summer temperatures brought slow ripening and an
extended warm fall meant later flavor development and
overall balance. We saw ripe tannins with beautiful color
and flavor depth while keeping good structural acidity.
Aging
Aged 4 months, 25% new French Oak
Food Pairing
Pairs well with freshly cut pears with burrata, mozzarella or
aged cheeses and summer salads of just-picked greens and
creamy dressings. Homemade pasta tossed lightly in olive
oil and Parmigiano Reggiano.
