A darker golden hue in the glass, this bottling is very rich and familiar in the California style, showing yellow peach, vanilla and marshmallow aromas on the nose. The palate is enlivened by a lively acidity that cuts into the creamy baked pineapple and salty marshmallow flavors.

Winemaker Notes

A beautiful golden hue anticipates bright tropical notes on the nose. This wine shows riper warm-climate qualities that are harmoniously balanced with the brisk acidity and lemon zest notes of the cool-climate fruit. The entry is clean and fresh, gaining midpalate weight with layered tropical and honeydew flavors, all finishing with a crisp flourish. A wine that begs for another sip.
