What a beautiful wine. It is a rush of mineral, fruit, fine oak and lees. This wine is classic in an old world sense, and also very true to its California origin. The oak is present, lending a lift of vanilla and spice to the perfectly ripe fruits; white peach, apricot, Bosc pear, and a touch of honeycomb. The wine is wonderfully rich and ripe, but never loses balance or freshness.
