Tasting Notes
Immediate aromas of ripe peaches, lime, white flowers, citrus fruits, clover honey and ripe cavaillon melons. With air, apricots, tangerines, wet stones, cinnamon and clove notes, nectarines and hints of fresh hay add to the complexity. rich texture and great focus. intriguing blend of honey and minerals with a broad mid-palate is broad and rich, with good texture and presence. A great value for a powerful wine.

Winemaker Notes
The grapes were hand sorted and 100% destemmed. the fruit settled for 1-2 days after pressing and racking to age in small lot stainless steel fermentation tanks. The temperatures dropped to 52-55 degrees and yeast was added. fermentations lasted from five weeks to six months, depending upon the varietal and lot. once complete, the wines were racked off the lees and individual lots were tasted to determine the overall blend. we bottled this wine in spring of 2007 to capture its fresh and lively characters.
