Expert Review — Vintage 2024
Wine Enthusiast — 91 Points (Tom R. Capo) | The nose is loaded with floral aromas, swirling with chalky minerality, pithy lemon, and pineapple. The palate is driven by lively acid, with flavors of fresh pear, tropical citrus, white flowers, and ginger that ebb and flow through the finale. There’s great value here.
Winemaker Description
Brilliant medium-gold color with honey, pear, apple, pineapple, lemon oil, and white flower aromas, with a judicious framing of vanillin oak. Opens with crisp pineapple and mango fruit flavors that turn into apple pastry on the full-bodied mid-palate. Finely textured with medium acidity turning into saline minerality on the lively, bouncy finish.
Food Pairings
Oyster po’ boys with fennel and celery root slaw, corn and cauliflower chowder, grilled salmon with lemon butter, Dungeness crab cakes, mushroom risotto, fettuccine Alfredo, aged Gouda, and creamy Brie.
