Winemaker Sean Foster Notes
Aromas of Graventstein Apple, Bosc Pear, mandarin orange, peach, and apple tart with roasted hazelnut, vanilla bean and spice (nutmeg and clove). The wine has a soft entry leading to a round fleshy mid-palate and is filled with layers of fruit and spice. Toasty notes are accentuated on the long finish.
