Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Richness and complexity begin on the nose, with bounding aromas of green apple, macadamia nut, honeycomb and yuzu. The palate is dense and full, revealing juicy pear, golden apple, quince, and lychee with a savory underpinning that melds into the long finish. This winery exclusive has been aged to perfection yet will enjoy additional evolution in the cellar over the next decade.
Vineyard Notes
2016 Harvest was a very nice, high quality vintage. We had a very mild growing season with lower than average temperatures in June and July, and very few heat spikes. This allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and consistently providing optimum flavor and development at harvest.
Food Pairing Notes
We recommend pairing it with rich double and triple cream or goat cheeses. Perfect with just a few toasted nuts, it will also enhance simple to complex meals. Oysters, poultry and even meat dishes work well and we suggest trying it with Asian cuisine.
