Tasting Notes
Pale and bright in the glass with an expressive nose of rose petal, green apple, pear, peach, and apricot — lifted by a brisk mineral quality from California's renowned growing regions. On the palate, lively acidity carries a hint of residual sweetness into a long, crisp finish of flinty mineral notes. Light-bodied, unoaked, and utterly refreshing. Improves with age up to 12 months.
