94 Points Wine Enthusiast Editor's Choice

This excellent vineyard shines brightly here, with sexy, sensuous aromas of citrus, lemon oil and fresh peaches. Along with those flavors come further streaks of toasted almond, caramel and butter brickle. The wine is a mix of two Dijon clones planted in 1995 and 2000. Decant this for an hour, and don’t overchill.

 

Winemaker Notes

We are interested in texture, brightness of acidity, fruit intensity and overall balance in our wines. This particular Dundee Hills vineyard is an excellent place to naturally find these characteristics. The rich soil in which the Dijon 95 is planted accentuates fruit depth and richness while the marine soil and cool locale of the vines emphasizes minerality, clarity and brightness. There is a wealth of fruit that toggles between lemon and apple but that is offset and buffered by a sense of minerality and a rich but not heavy aspect to the wine’s weight and mouthfeel. This wine is an extremely nice place now but we anticipate years of development. While we can only date back to the 2015 vintage (and a wine that is made from different components and in a different and more rudimentary manner) that wine is still showing youthful energy and has every indication of further upside. The 2021 should be a rock solid wine for years and years to come.
