Combination of several vineyards aged in tank and neutral barrels, plenty of raciness and spritzy citrus personality but enough body to stand up to a meal

Spring is coming! Orchard fruit, lemon spritz and enough stony and floral notes to be more than an average quaffer

Still ripping with fruit and acid. Nose is a little funky at first with classic green bell pepper. Opens up well after 10-15 min or so in glass.

Hollow mid-palate. Seems a little tired, maybe should have been consumed earlier.
