Light & Crisp Fruity & Smooth Rich & Creamy
winemaker's notes:

A dry start to the year with a brief warm period over Christmas, followed by moderate temperatures over January and February. The vines while reduced in yield from the dry conditions were able to maintain good even ripening and natural acid balance throughout the growing season.

The wine has a light straw color. The aroma displays lifted melon characters with subtle hints of passionfruit and oak complexity. A rich wine on the palate, it balances both textural mouthfeel with clean acid finish.

alcohol by volume: 14.0%
critical acclaim:

"Pale yellow hue. Complex scents of pineapple, mineral and lemon. Clean flavors of white peach and grapefruit. Hints of acacia in the crisp, mineral-driven close. "

rating (9/28/2010):
A very rich but smooth wine that is great with finger foods or by itself. A great pleasure to drink.

rating (9/28/2010):
Mild citrus. Dry, but not as dry as the French Burgundy wines (my favorites). Can't beat the price, and love the screwcap.
