Santa Maria Valley

AROMATICS
Complex aromas of lime blossom, green apple, browned butter, ripe pear and hints of clean ocean air.
PALATE
2018 was one of the longest, coolest growing seasons in almost a decade allowing the wine to be both restrained and incredibly flavorful. Concentrated fruit and minerals show on the mid-palate with a lively and bright finish.
FOOD PAIRING
