Joseph LaPanna

Pale yellow in the glass with lime zest, apple, white flowers and flint on the nose. Well balanced, sleek, with a refreshing acidity. Green apples, Asian pear, Marcona Almonds, apricot, and fall spices fill in the body. True Jim Law artistic style; I suspect little to no malo, mostly neutral oak but lots of sur lie aging give this wine plenty of character and texture!

Still fresh but a bit more concentrated than the 2009 that was just reviewed. Green apple, pear and a big bite of lime zest. Still quite tart with Spicy oak. Great balance
