Notes sur le produit

The 2017 growing season started off with record rainfall and ended with a warm, dry summer that led us into harvest. The extra rainfall provided the vines with a strong canopy that helped protect the fruit while it developed full varietal flavors and soft texture. Extra care was taken to balance the fruit load in preparation for the dry summer and this attentiveness continued into the cellar, when the fruit arrived early in September.

Élaboration du produit

The grapes were hand-sorted and gently whole-cluster pressed. After settling overnight, the juice was fermented in barrel, including 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged in 35% new French oak barrels for eleven months.

Notes de dégustation

This wine has brilliant golden straw color and aromas of warm spice, tangerine, and sweet orange; intriguing tropical floral notes carry over onto the palate. Flavors of ripe pear, apricot, and mango peel are accented by warm spice and rich caramel, for a wine that is both weighty and fresh.

A thick oak-influenced white wine. with weight and breadth across the palate, this is undeniably delicious and in full possession of its richness and concentration. The layered flavors of stone fruit, pear and nutmeg are lifted by focused acidity that cannot be denied. Editors’ Choice

James Suckling, Juin 2021 (Millésime 2019)

Aromas of white flowers, peaches, lemon curd, buttercream and praline. It’s full-bodied with concentrated, creamy layers and fresh acidity. Long, polished and textured. Some nice nougat at the finish. Drink or hold.
