Tasting Notes
Tropical, rich, with tons of layering and depth... aromas of key lime, papaya, gala apple, cherry blossom and lemon. Flavors of melon, lime, orange, sweet lemon, Asian pear and golden stone fruit, brightened with silky citrus and enriched with notes of mineral and vanilla.
Vineyard
The hand picked fruit was sourced from Hummingbird Hill Vineyard in the cool, windy hills of the Sonoma Coast, in which yields are maintained at low levels, ranging from 2.5 to 4 tons/acre. The wine is composed of two small batches of carefully selected Clone 1 and Sauvignon Musqué.
Winemaking
Grapes were picked in the early morning hours, and went immediately to press and chilled to preserve its freshness. Primary fermentation went 21 days at carefully controlled temperatures in stainless steel tank. Then moved to hand selected neutral French Oak barrels to round out flavors.
