Tasting Notes
Exemplifying complexity, finesse and power with super concentrated stone fruit speaking of the site. Glorious layers of aromatic dried apricots and heirloom peach on the nose are accentuated with a hint of nuttiness adding breadth. Sophisticated and concentrated on the palate showing extraordinary depth with a moreish stone fruit core, refreshing acidity and a slightly creamy texture. The structure is well balanced and comes together with a superior dry finale. A powerful wine with layers of flavor that are beautifully balanced in every sense.

Vintage conditions
Leaf fall occurred later than usual which allowed good reserves to build up in the vines. The similarly delayed onset of winter allowed for good cold unit accumulation. Rainfall was the lowest to date. Days were warm and nights cool. Budding occurred later and flowering was uniform. A dry, warm season resulted in compact berries with some supplementary irrigation necessary.
A cooler February allowed for even ripening. An abundant vintage of exceptional quality.
