Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

With grapes from Carneros, pale lemon with aromas of stone, citrus fruits and spice. The palate had flavors of apple, pear, peach, lemon zest and melon, complex, mineral tones with soft creamy oak and sweet spice. The wine was fresh, a bit creamy, with vibrant crisp acidity, well balanced on a long finish. Nice Chard with some mid-term aging potential. Outstanding!

Not too overblown. Nice bitterness in the finish.

Holy cow. Rich, butterscotch finish. This is like a piece of candy you want to last forever.

A pleasant toasty ness, a touch of buttery character.
