Vintage Notes
Grown high on the limestone-rich soils of Mt. Harlan, this beautifully aromatic wine displays expressive aromas of Asian pear and lemon zest that rise from the glass. The palate reveals Meyer lemon, chalky minerality, and delicate brioche notes, carried by vibrant acidity and a crisp finish.
