Nose
A bright expression of our favorite coastal vineyards. Delicate aromas of green apple, stone fruits and white peach are balanced by hints of Meyer lemon and citrus.
Palate
This wine is focused but smooth on the palate with incredible texture and hints of tropical fruit and a delightful acid.
Growing Conditions
The 2016 vintage marked a “return to normalcy” for many in Sonoma County. After the disastrous yields of 2015, most vineyards saw closer to average tonnage and the rains that followed the harvest were more than welcome to alleviate the drought. Favorable weather allowed for even ripening and full phenolic development without being pressured by extreme heat spikes, as with previous vintages.
Aging
