Winemaker tasting notes

Nose: "There is a mélange of lime zest, honeydew melon, and white cherry on the nose leading into a palate dancing with notes of ripe stone fruit, green apple, peach, and shortbread cookie."

Palate: "It's bright with a surprisingly mouthwatering complexity. Crisp fruit and delicate minerality ride on a serious structure that leads to a generous effervescence and lifted finish."
