A perfumed nose shows a bouquet of white flowers and peaches. Peaches give way to Valencia oranges, then lemon, on the palate. A mineral backbone and hints of vanilla give structure and depth.

Aromas of apple and wood char flow up on the nose. Apple comes out in waves, from Honeycrisp to Granny Smith and back again, with wood smoke, char, and Meyer Lemon underneath. This is a smoking wine, loaded with smoke and fruit, drink it outside, on a breezy porch, with Read More
