Tasting Notes:
"The 2024 vintage shows pale golden to deep straw hues with aromas of apricot, honeydew, apple butter, and chevre. Flavors of golden kiwi, baked peach, passionfruit, key lime pie, and tarragon unfold and are framed by rich spice notes. Barrel fermented and aged in French oak, it unwinds with balance and a lasting finish. Made from 100% Musqué clone. Only 244 cases produced."

Vintage Notes:
2024 was a tremendous vintage with almost perfect growing conditions. It was a textbook year for winemaking, though unusual for the numerous heat days during the growing season. Key to the success of the vintage were heavy winter rains that set the vines up for success. The 2024 vintage is dynamic, rich in flavor, and blends boldness with elegance for a classic Napa Valley profile.
