Tasting Notes

Enjoy aromas of bright grapefruit and apricot with almond nougat and flavors of peach and toffee. The malolactic fermentation created subtle hints of buttered popcorn-flavored jellybeans with a creamy, smooth finish.
Vintage Notes
• The growing season started was slightly warmer than usual, with soil reinvigorated by a barrage of rain during the month of March • Near the onset of verasion, an intense heat wave contributed to ample fruit hang-time as photosynthesis slowed, followed by waning temperatures and gentle ripening
• A drizzle of rain in October abated the fear of having a compact harvest and effected a clean break between early and late-maturing varieties
