This generous, buttery and spicy wine is sourced from several parts of Napa Valley and brings gorgeous richness to the nose, palate and finish. Elements of brown butter, marzipan, toasted almonds and poached pears flood the flavors, with vanilla bean and a touch of sweet coconut. Barrel fermented in 36% new French oak, it’s full-bodied and nicely viscous in texture. Drink or hold.

Offers ripe, plump notes of salted melon, pear, peach pastry and lemon curd. Details of pineapple, baked apple and orange blossoms add intrigue, and a bright, fresh thread of acidity keeps the flavors fresh and in focus, gaining spice and white tea hints on the finish. Drink now. 5,513 cases made.

Layers of pleasing and mouthwatering flavor -- spiced apples and baked pairs with accents of lemon cream and cloves. A creamy mouthfeel carries a generous wine that's full of length and humming persistence.
