At the beginning, a pale straw hue tinged with youthful hints of green shimmers in the glass. The second movement envelops the olfactory, with pure aromas of peach blossom, lime zest, and fresh honeysuckle that are backed by subtle notes of candied ginger and spiced vanilla bean. As wine meets palate, the Sauvignon component is prominent with flavors of crisp green apple, citrus peel, and wet stone, while the Semillon adds a plush, rounded aspect in the form of nectarine, fresh melon, and lemon oil. The final movement is perhaps the most memorable, as these two varietals dance across the palate. The incredible freshness and vibrancy is tempered by the soft, supple texture of the Semillon and all is brought into balance during eight months of peaceful sure lie aging in 100% French oak barrels. A delight inits youth, this wine will continue to merit a standing ovation for many years to come. 180 cases produced.
