Tasting Notes

Les Pierres’ beautiful, pale straw color catches the light as you pour it into your glass. As we would expect, this vintage offers classic aromas of lemon zest, wet stone, key lime pie, citrus blossom and bright, lemon curd. A beautifully balanced mouthfeel combines with Sonoma-Cutrer’s signature citrus-laced acidity that gives the wine its sleek, focused palate structure with a nice oak integration from the 12 months spent in French oak barrels. Flavor notes of lime, mineral, roasted nuts, and sweet spices dissolve into the light, creamy palate. The medium-plus finish is satisfyingly long and a perfect seafood pairing wine.

Try it with ceviche, halibut and sushi.
