WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
2014 was one of the warmest growing seasons on record in Northern California. Rain in late-March paved the way for available water through budbreak and bloom, but sustained warm weather coupled with depleted water reserves culminated with a slightly early, furiously paced compact harvest that was completed before the end of September.
Mineral and dusty nuances are enhanced with crisp and floral aromas Complex and full-bodied, with notes of pear and dried apricot Crisp acidity elevates fruit profile.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Mild cheeses, fruit-accented salads (particularly grilled peaches), sushi, risotto, seafood, and Thai or Indian cuisines.
