Nose
A delicious mix of citrus, tropical and floral notes.
Palate
Once again this wine has incredible texture and a rounded mouthfeel. Green apple and kiwi- fruit greet the nose and are quickly complemented by a lemon zest, honeysuckle and melon dominated palate. It’s full of flavor without being heavy and has a soothing acidity that tightens on the finish.
Growing Conditions
The fourth year of continuous drought caught up with many vineyards, shrinking yields and causing water stress in many vines. Tiny clusters sometimes clocked in at 10% the weight of normal. However, the natural consequence of such a low yield is an amazing concentration of flavors.
Aging
100% french oak; 10% new; 12 months
