The tropical dominated nose is highlighted by star fruit, orange zest, jasmine and lingering minerality. A fresh pear attack leads to a juicy balanced mouth of guava and lemon-lime. The integrated minerality gives way to a long, crisp finish of orange peel and kaffir lime leaves

Vintage Notes: The 2010 vintage was marked by late spring rains. The growing season was quite cool. Late heat spikes towards the end of red verasion further added an unexpected twist to the already challenging harvest. A roller coaster of alternating heat and rain spells marked the ripening period. Berry sizes were normal with good flavor and strong skins.
