Winemaker Notes
Vibrantly colored, with a soft, round entry and a long, lingering finish
· Beautifully lifted aromas of ripe wild strawberries and citrus flowers, with subtle minerality and a luxurious hint of crème fraiche
· The flavors are filled with juicy wild berry notes and crisp citrus zest, all supported by fresh, focused acidity
Production
2011 presented certain challenges-from early shatter to late-season rain
· We responded with site-specific techniques that included aggressive leafing, an early thinning protocol and a heavy field sort to select only the most desirable grapes
· Attention to detail in the vineyards, and during harvest and sorting, yielded high quality fruit
