Tasting Notes:  Aromas of lemon oil, green apple, fresh fennel, graham cracker, and a hint of tropical fruit greet the nose. The palate features snappy acidity despite the 100% native malolactic fermentation, and is buffered by the wonderfully oily texture these old vines provide. The finish is clean and balanced, featuring soft layers of delicate nuance.

Winemaker's Notes: We have been tremendously fortunate with a string of stellar vintages, as 2014 joins the ranks of some of the best years we have witnessed. Our Old Wente clone vines on the Dutton Ranch planted in the 1980’s have once again expressed their site admirably.
