(raised half in used barriques and half in stainless steel tanks) Pale gold. Dried pear and lemon zest on the nose; subtle herbal and floral nuances build as the wine opens up. Dry, focused and chewy in texture, offering Meyer lemon and pear nectar flavors that flesh out slowly on the back half. Closes with solid grip, gentle spiciness and good, floral-tinged persistence.
