Subtle pears on the nose. Crisp with notes of apple, hints of pineapple, and lemon zest on the fore palate. Complex, Medium, smooth finish - after an hour of decanting the mouth feel became a little buttery. (Chicken & shiitake mushroom Alfredo over rustica pasta for a pleasant Wednesday evening dinner on a frigid January night) we purchased this at the vineyard during our Napa vacation- September 2016

Quality stuff—light minerality, solid fruit, good balance. Compares favorably with white burgundy at twice the price. Excellent food wine. Enjoyed the 2015 vintage with veal piccata.
