winemaker's notes:
2005 is the quintessential Green Valley vintage. It beautifully expresses the
bright, focused, clean, sweet-tart flavors of cool, foggy Green Valley. It is beautifully balanced, imparting a
delightful "leesy", toasty, perfectly integrated barrel character that doesn't overwhelm the fruit. The texture is
soft, smooth, silky and sensuous. The finish, long and lingering.
Food pairings: Enjoy with corn soup, rainbow trout, sole, halibut with mushrooms and asparagus, salmon,
steamed lobster, lemon roast chicken served with jasmine rice, veal chop, anything with a cream sauce, goat
cheese and walnuts.
