Tasting notes
An unusual style of white wine in Napa, a place where Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay tend to reign. Expect spice and gentle smoke on the opening here, star anise, white pepper, spiced pear and citrus, overlaid with fragrant white flowers. Great stuff. Winemaking and ageing in 60% stainless steel, 40% French oak, 22% new. Philippe Bascaules winemaking director.

A refined and distinctive nose of ripe lemons, spiced apples, dried herbs, acacia, and light spies.. It’s medium-bodied with a well-rounded, fresh fruit profile on the palate. Green apple character with a lively finish. Wonderful complexity and freshness. 40% viognier, 37% marsanne, and 23% roussanne, Drink now.
