This near-perfect growing season started early, and we saw ideal weather conditions throughout the valley.  Thanks to a relatively steady and mild July, August followed with a series of warm days allowing the grapes to progress to perfect ripeness. This stunning 2016 vintage is refined and expressive, with ripe citrus aromas, and a deep core of rich pear and honeydew melon flavors that bring fantastic complexity. The finish is filled with a touch of butter, a hint of toasted hazelnut and refreshing acidity.
