Nose
Quince, citrus peel and wet gravel dominate the aromatics on this wine.
Palate
Intense minerality on the palate is balanced by vanilla, meyer lemon and butterscotch flavors. The wine finishes with racy acidity and is perfect to pair with many dishes.
Growing Conditions
Like 2012, 2013 had near picture-perfect weather and a long and sustained growing season that allowed the vines to ripen the fruit to exactly where we wanted. Our 2013 wines are lush with ripe fruit flavors but balanced with coastal acidity thanks to the constant fog coverage in Occidental.
Aging
100% french oak; 20% new; 12 months
