Winemaker Notes
The soft yellow color here has a youthful chartreuse hue that is very characteristic of this particular vineyard. Aromas of toasted biscuit, honeysuckle, sea spray and earthy meyer lemon are layered and complex. Multidimensional flavors span across D’Anjou pear, vanilla pod, white peach, roasted hazelnut, and delicate lemon curd. Slight background notes of tart custard are framed by a medium body with a taut, structured acidity. Finishes long, with notes of fresh salted cream and an ever-so-slight hint of oak. - Winemaker Cory Waller
