This wine is focused on purity of fruit; it is a flip book of the varietal as it ripens on our Rutherford estate. We capture different snapshots of the grape’s character by making multiple picking passes during harvest. This provides the wine with complex layers of fruit starting with zesty citrus, moving to stone fruits, progressing to melons, and finishing with a hint of exotic tropical fruits. Each of these aromatic profiles represents the different ripeness levels at which the clusters were picked.
WINE SPECTATOR 92 POINTS - "This is pretty, with tarragon and verbena notes that shimmer over a mix of lemon peel, white nectarine and yellow plum fruit. A long quinine thread adds mouthwatering tension to the finish. Drink now through 2029."
