Super dense, viscous. Complex with enough acidity to balance.

Very enjoyable. Good minerality and a creamy texture. Strong floral notes and light stone fruits are present.

Good middle ground between Santa Rita and Napa. Solid weight but with bright fruits and acidity. Pleasant lingering finish. 2012 Vintage.

Even better than the 2011 vintage. Benefits from the warmer growing season. More tropical fruit, balanced oak.
