Description
Harvesting at night allows Cakebread to preserve every ounce of the freshness and fruit purity fostered by the cool Carneros climate. The wine was aged for 15 months on the lees. The lees was stirred weekly, imparting a creamy and round texture and adding additional complexity. Look for pie crust, mineral, and toast to complement the lush fruit flavours. This could be enjoyed tonight with grilled pork or grilled chicken kebabs, but will also reward 5+ years in your cellar.

Tasting Notes
Well-framed, with concentrated green apple, nectarine and melon flavors that are supported by fresh acidity. The spicy finish offers mineral and white cherry notes. Drink now through 2022. Score - 91. (Kim Marcus, winespectator.com, June 15, 2018)
