Overview
Aromas of crème anglaise, Meyer lemon, and red apple open up into notes of hazelnut, pie crust, and oak spice. Bright acidity on the attack leads into a creamy mid-palate with notes of brioche, followed by a long, toasty, and spicy finish.
Occasion
DVX pairs well with a wide variety of foods; the brightness of the 2011 vintage calls for something rich. Lobster risotto or a simple fettucine alfredo would be excellent choices.
