· A full, round entry with a viscous texture and balanced acidity
· Clean, fresh white nectarine and fruit blossom aromas from the Viognier alongside honeydew, honeysuckle and crème fraiche Chardonnay notes
· Mouthfilling flavors echo the aromas, with the acidity leading to a lingering Meyer lemon and citrus peel finish
· 2009 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
