TASTING NOTES
Delightful aromatics of Asian pear, chamomile and star fruit combine with citrusy undertones that are
bright and fresh. White peach and tangerine open on the mouthcoating palate and move into ripe notes
of grapefruit with subtle hints of tarragon and baking spice. Creamy lemon guava appears towards the end
and moves into a full and lasting finish.
VINTAGE OVERVIEW
The 2020 growing season was marked by low yields, hot summer weather, and sufficient fall hang time to
produce wines with intense aromatics and concentrated flavors. After a typical bud break in mid-April
and moderate temperatures through May, conditions cooled in June. July and August were hot, but the
weather cooled again in September to slow ripening just enough to give the grapes extra time on the vine
to ripen fully.
