Tasting Notes

Refreshing and bright, with fragrant lemon citrus notes and delicate white floral characters illuminating the fragrant profile on the nose as notes of Meyer lemon peel, acacia blossom, and subtle lemongrass waft from the glass. The palate is zesty and crisp, presenting a light to medium body with lovely balance, rich complexity, and silky weight. Elegant notes of green Anjou pear, white peach, and citrus fruits provide a lively freshness as nuanced elements of spiced white pepper, lanolin, and flinty minerality provide a structured backbone, giving this wine layered finesse and persistent intensity. The finish is long and perfumed with mouthwatering acidity.

“Aromas of passion fruit, lime zest and grapefruit. The palate is light- to medium-bodied with a creamy texture an bright acidity, giving flavors of green melon, papayas and lemon curd. Fresh and generous. Drink now.” -JamesSuckling.com, January 30, 2025

“Fermented and aged in a mix of older oak (56%) and stainless steel (44%), it’s highly aromatic, with passion fruit, gooseberries and nectarines all evident on the nose. In the mouth, it’s medium to full-bodied, plump, expansive and generous. There’s plenty of flavor, culminating in a long, citrusy finish.” -Joe Czerwinksi, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, October 2024

      Vintage Notes
      2023 delivered one of the most prolonged and compact harvests in recent Napa Valley history. The long growing season delayed the start of harvest until the fifth of September—two and a half weeks later than the previous year. This posed a logistical challenge in the cellar as tanks quickly filled. Additionally, there was concern about completing the harvest before the rainy season. Our winemaking team rose to the occasion and made the 2023 harvest season a bountiful yield of exceptional quality fruit. The grapes displayed intense color and complex flavors, maintaining a vibrant acidity that adds a distinctive character to what will surely be remembered as an excellent wine collector’s vintage.
