Creamy pear and melon fruit, with balanced acidity. Medium to full bodied. Has the richness and sheen of a pouilly fuissé but with dimensions of tropical fruit and very well integrated hazelnut/vanilla oak.

Richness in fruit jumping from the glass. Brûléed banana. Reflected on the palate but achieves balance. $18.99

Yellow with a little green, sweeter Meyer lemon, ripe pineapple, banana, fruit driven with typical CA malolactic notes. Small amount of minerality.
