Profile
Toasted bread and baking spice aromas are complemented by red apple, Bing cherry, and yellow plum. A fine mousse opens into a creamy mid-palate with notes of grilled bread, red apple, and stone fruit, leading to a long, structured finish.
Occasions & Pairings
This wine is a perfect pairing for a seafood linguine made with squid ink pasta or a mushroom risotto.
What Our Winemaker Says
“2017 was a warmer vintage, allowing for development of beautiful, ripe flavors in the grapes. These characters carried into the wine, which shows big fruit and toast and should age nicely for years to come.”
–Tami Lotz
