Winemaker tasting notes

Nose: “On the nose, our classic Le Rêve captivates with lovely notes of Meyer lemon, ginger, orange blossom, and a touch of brioche.”

Palate: “The palate opens up with lychee, poached pear, toasted hazelnut, and notes of a fresh baked lemon meringue pie. This wine displays depth and purity that leads to a lively, extended finish. As with many great wines, our 2017 Le Rêve has been crafted to be long-lived and will continue to evolve for decades in the cellar. Delicious now, but there will be additional flavor benefits for those who can wait.”
