Pale straw color. Aromas of lemon créme brulee and jasmine honeysuckle; high tone tropical fruit hints of pineapple and guava. The palate ushers in flavors of kiwi, candied fig and crisp apple finishing with powerful mineral acidity. This wine is rich and unctuous while maintaining the graceful balance of powerful ripe fruit and classically crisp mountain acidity. While it begs to be enjoyed now, we think this wine will continue to reward those fans disciplined enough to allow 5-7 years of cellaring.
