Winemaker Faythe Stone-Brocka Notes
On the nose: wet slate, vanilla, citrus On the palate:
creamy lemon, pear and toasted hazelnut, savory
Irish butter, subtle toasted oak notes, lively acidity The season had a moderate crop level with
exceptional quality. Mild winter, led to early bud
break. Received needed winter and early spring rainfall. With only a few heat spikes, summer was relatively kind.
