This wine is focused on purity of fruit; it is a flip book of the varietal as it ripens on our Rutherford estate. We capture different snapshots of the grape’s character by making multiple picking passes during harvest. This provides the wine with complex layers of fruit starting with zesty citrus, moving to stone fruits, progressing to melons, and finishing with a hint of exotic tropical fruits. Each of these aromatic profiles represents the different ripeness levels at which the clusters were picked.


Accolades

“Aromatically complex yet still anchored, the balance between lemon blossom lift and citrus acidity is beautifully woven. Flavors of white grapefruit, papaya, fennel bulb, and tarragon mingle seamlessly, and resolve in a savory, mineral finish."  -Brian Freedman  93 points, Tasting Panel 


“Sliced pears, lemon pith, jasmine and mineral nuances on the nose. The medium-bodied palate is textured yet crunchy, with lively acidity coming through. Flavorful and sleek."  -Jim Gordon   91 points, JamesSuckling.com


“Peach, apricot and lemon curd flavors are generous, plump and juicy in this white, with plenty of oomph to the details of tangerine, orange zest and lemon thyme that linger on a mouthwatering frame. -MaryAnn Worobiec  90 points, Wine Spectator

"Bright, zesty and tropical aromatics join flavors of sweet citrus and pith through an enlivening finish on this wine." - Elaine Chukan Brown 90 points, Wine Enthusiast 

Tasting Notes

Delightfully aromatic, notes of lemon peel, mango and a touch of citrus blossom burst out of the glass. Upon the palate, tropical notes of guava and passion fruit are balanced by hints of citrus and honeydew. Juicy and bright, with a rich mouthfeel, the crisp acidity adds a fresh, clean finish that begs you back for more.

Vineyard Notes

2024 was a picture-perfect growing season with exceptional fruit set, balanced vines, and ideal ripening. While days were a bit hotter than usual during the summer months, nights cooled significantly, slowing vines to replenish and balance out ripening. Careful canopy management was key to ensuring we got dappled sunlight on the fruit without too much sun exposure on the hot days. The warmer weather helped us achieve maximum ripeness and concentration with deep color and flavors for our red wines while our white wines have our signature bright acidity mixed with loads of tropical aromas and flavors.
