Deeply aromatic and wonderfully stylish, offering a core of Honeycrisp apple, salted caramel, mouthwatering lemon curd and toasted brioche flavors. Hints of minerality and balanced acidity add to the complexity of the wine while leaving a harmonious brightness and creamy texture on the finish.

Fruit for this wine comes from French Creek and Boushey vineyards. It was fermented and aged in equal parts new French oak, concrete, and neutral oak. Spending 17 months on lees with 40% malolactic fermentation, the variety is immediately identifiable, with notes of clarified butter, squash, spice, peach, dried herb, and candlewax. Full-bodied, richly textured flavors follow. Toasty notes linger on the finish. It’s a very appealing, stylistic offering of the variety, leaning into a ripe style.
