Nose
Aromas and flavors of fresh white
peach, nectarine, honeysuckle, with a wet stone
minerality.
Palate
Bright, complex with mouthwatering
acidity. The wine is balanced, with a sweet
mid-palate, and beautiful length.
Growing Conditions
2016 started out like it was extending the trend of
another hot year, but in mid-summer the weather shifted and there was
steady weather of somewhat cooler temperatures. The white grape
varieties required close observation to keep a balance of naturally high
acid levels and brix (the measure of sugars in the grapes); harvest came
about two weeks earlier than normal.
