The nose is perfumed and bright, with aromas of yellow apple and Meyer lemon shining through. Layers of spiced pear and baking spices add nuance and interest to the aromatics. On the front of the palate, the wine leads with flowers and transitions to notes of pear and apple. Minerals and crushed rocks come through on the mid-palate and the wine finishes with elements of ripe stone fruit.
