Both peaches, pineapple juice that falls onto marmalade, green apple, hint of apple cider, bruised Bosc pear, light malt, ginger ale, honey notes, saline, sea fossils, alluvial limestone, moist, mushy chalkiness, white spice, bread dough, soft yeastiness, some bread crust, yellow lilies framed in spring flowers with greens, soft, crisp acidity, round, elegant body that is well; knitted, structured, tensioned with a smartly polished finish that lasts two-minutes.

Small grower production…only 900 bottles. All fermented in neutral oak. You sense that as soon as you smell it and definitely on the palate. Slightly bruised pear and apple, apple cider, ginger ale, malt, older mixed citrus-grapefruit dominate, bread dough, yeastiness, crumbled chalk & limestone, sea fossils, saline, mixed withering lilies, round acidity, excellent structure, balance, tension, length and nicely not over polished finish that last minutes and lands on beautiful minerality. As good as it is today, room for improvement going forward. Hold at least three years. @ K&L Champagne tasting.
