A deep, golden, rich wine that's bold in fruit and oak spice flavors on a full body, yet balanced by a toasty, almost peppery character and good acidity. There is freshness and a mineral touch along with the baked pear, butter and roasted vanilla flavors. Drink now or hold.

Very pretty aromatics of pineapple and Meyer lemon, with apricot lifting out of the glass. The palate is polished, with a lovely grip and tension framing buoyant fruit laced with gorgeous saline minerality. Finishes intensely with aromas of Marcona almonds, a touch of honey, and wildflowers. Grape sources include Antica, Stagecoach, Waters Ranch, Hyde Vineyard in Carneros, and Carpenter, a site in St. Helena. 100% barrel fermented with lees stirring, then aged in 60% new French oak.
