This wine is focused on purity of fruit; it is a flip book of the varietal as it ripens on our Rutherford estate. We capture different snapshots of the grape’s character by making multiple picking passes during harvest. This provides the wine with complex layers of fruit starting with zesty citrus, moving to stone fruits, progressing to melons, and finishing with a hint of exotic tropical fruits. Each of these aromatic profiles represents the different ripeness levels at which the clusters were picked. Aromatic notes of white peach and lime leap out of the glass with a hint of herbaceous Thai basil. Juicy, bright flavors of lychee and pink grapefruit are complemented with a wet stone minerality and perfectly balanced acidity. A mid-palate richness leads to a long, clean finish.

James Suckling

"This shows vivid and crunchy stone fruit character with hints of spicy herbs, pear skins and guava. Medium-bodied and textural with crunchy acidity and vivid juiciness in the middle, toned up with notes of citrus peel and mint. Drink now. Screw cap."

Wine Enthusiast

"This ripe tasting and round-textured wine blends soft peaches and melons with tangy lemon notes for a mouth-filling yet well-balanced and lively expression."
