Sipping Fine Wine

Pale lemon yellow color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, white blossom and bright mineral scents. On the palate wine has a lush texture with flavors of apple, pear, melon, citrus and vanilla notes, silky with a long finish ending with fruit, floral, spice and creamy mineral character. Very nice will age a bit! Pair this with a Halibut topped with lemon butter sauce!

Apple, lemon curd, honey, dried apricot, oak and hints of lime. Great acidity and minerality.

I wish it was winter so that I could turn this wine into ice blocks and skate on it, and in the spring time it'd melt and I'd drink from it. It's magical. It's laughing at me. I wanna stick my dick in it.

Founded in 1976, Duckhorn has been crafting varietals from the Napa Valley for over 30 years. Fresh fruit aromas with citrus and honey scents. On the palate peach, apple and lemon zest flavors with sweet vanilla and toasty notes. Savory, well balanced on lingering finish, great mouthfeel ending with mineral tones.
