Vintage: The 2016 vintage was near-perfect in Napa Valley. The growing season had an early start and ideal weather throughout. Harvest was ideally paced, with vineyards ripening in a cycle that allowed successive picking at targeted ripeness. The resulting wines are showing great balance and intensity of flavor.
Tasting Notes: Aromas of Asian pear, brioche, and sweet vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel with bright acidity and notes of Meyer lemon lengthening the finish.
"This is a floral, zesty and vibrant white wine, given six months in French oak, half of it new. With a complex hit of briny salt and citrus, it flirts between layers of savory and sweet, finding just the right balance of structure and acidity. - Virginie Boone"
