Big and beautiful. Impressive balance between rich creaminess and structured acidity.

This is a 2012 vintage. Only bottled six weeks ago. Great minerality, slight skin contact giving it a beautiful golden color. Looking forward to seeing where it goes in six months.

My first bottle from this Oregon producer. I got toffee and some hazelnut on the nose. Body was super creamy with a nice acidity. Would buy again.
