Decidedly green in the best possible way, the 2023 Kerner launches from the glass with zest of lime and sour melon, hints of young kiwi and spice. It washes across the palate with silken, nearly oily textures and ripe, citrus-inflected orchard fruits as a bump of juicy acidity adds energy throughout. Long and saturating through the close, the 2023 reveals its underlying minerality and leaves an impression of lovely freshness.
