Wine Details & Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes: Subtly keyed with restrained aromatics of pear skin, honeycomb, and golden citrus, with just a hint of pastry cream and toast. The palate is deep, dense, and concentrated — fleshy and generous, tempered by a stony acidity sewn through layers and layers of flavor. Yellow apples, kumquat, and peaches sing. The chalky texture is the background music, giving ballast to all those curves. The savory finish calls in the wax of the nose, the echo of the radiant fruit.
