Winemaker Notes: “The pretty, light straw color draws you to aromas of fresh pear, yellow apple, honeysuckle, and a hint of warm bread. Flavors are full of crisp pear-apple, savory beeswax, and a long finish with great stony minerality. ABV 12% “
Pam Starr’s 2018 Harvest Report: The near picture-perfect growing season began in late February. Spring was mild, with extended flowering yielding uniform grape clusters and almost normal crop load. Temperatures remained steady and warm throughout the growing season, without any significant heat spikes. The resulting wines have excellent acid retention and length of flavors.
