Nose

It opens with aromas of raspberry and glazed orange, balanced by aspects of strawberry shortcake, vanilla bean, jasmine and almond paste.

Palate

On the palate, tantalizing layers of lemon curd, cherry pie and crème brûlée add additional complexity. Rich, fruitful and closing with a long, bright finish, this wine is truly a feast for the senses.

Growing Conditions

Despite an irregular growing season, the 2010 vintage produced an excellent set of wines. Higher acidities and fresh fruit tones, a consequence of the unusually cool season, make the vintage especially compelling—and drinkable. The fruit delivered exceptional quality and density, resulting in beautifully crafted wines with rich fruit and elegance, that will be collectible far into the future.
