With a pale straw yellow color, fresh aromatics of pineapple, and Golden Delicious apples that are heightened by hints of vanilla, marzipan, and mineral characteristics of wet stone and flint. The palate is bright and balanced with flavors of white nectarines and lemon zest that lead to a round finish.
The 2022 growing season was full of surprises that resulted in a miracle harvest of delicious, age-worthy wines with balance and vibrancy. The vintage kicked off with a cold and wet spring that turned worrisome when an unusually late-season freeze event affected lower-lying sections of the vineyard. Slowly but surely, temperatures began to warm by mid-May and continued to rise throughout the summer allowing the vines to flourish. Harvest commenced on September 13, almost four weeks behind recent vintages. Fortunately, moderate temperatures and clear skies facilitated a steady intake of fruit until finished toward the end of October.
