Winemaker Notes:

The nose displays notes of magnolia, marzipan and a hint of green tea in the background. The palate is well blanced and shows remarkable roundness that contributes to a long-lasting finish.

This seven-acre organically farmed vineyard is located five miles north of the town of Hopland along the banks of the upper Russian River. The location provides ideal conditions for growing white Rhone varietals that need a long growing season to fully develop flavors and aromas while still retaining their natural acidity.
