This young wine is presently tightly coiled with a long future in store. With a little air, the wine displays classically reductive notes of gunflint, alongside a fascinating mélange of rich tropical yellow fruits (mango, pineapple, passion fruit), stone fruits, (nectarine, apricot), melons, golden delicious apples, and ripe pear. The fruit aromas are lifted by notes of white flowers, minerals, graphite, fresh herbs (basil, tarragon, thyme) and hints of baking spice (vanilla, nutmeg, and clove). On the palate the wine opens slowly, but forcefully, with rich, mouth-filling waves of tropical fruits, stone fruits, and spices, mingling with minerals, flowers, citrus notes (Texas red grapefruit, lemon zest orange peel). The wine is medium to full-bodied and intriguing; the citrus and acids holding the fruits and minerals aloft on the long, penetrating finish.
