winemaker's notes:
Barrel fermentation, sur-lies aging, and partial malolactic fermentation have created a rich and elegant wine with layers of complexity. The soft and inviting aromas suggest an apple pie right out of the oven cooling on the kitchen table. A delicately creamy entry gives way to reveal fresh flavors of the apple and pear as well. Spicy oak integrates with this intense fruit, delivering a finish long and lingering.
