The fruit intensity is prominent, featuring vibrant notes of ripe apple and pear, complemented by subtle hints of tropical fruits and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth mouthfeel without overpowering the fruit. This wine is crafted to be dry, striking a harmonious balance that makes it a fantastic choice for a variety of culinary pairings or simply to enjoy on its own.

Region:


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
