- TASTING NOTE: "Multi-layered notes of brioche, spicy minerality, and subtle oak, balanced by floral and citrus flavors." 90 Points - Josh Raynolds, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: In 2018, warm springtime temperatures led to early bud break and flowering periods in the spring and summer. The final stages of the 2018 growing season were exceptionally dry leading to intense flavor development. Grapes were sourced from three vineyards. Willakenzie Estate - offers depth and complexity. Maple Grove Vineyard - Brings fruit intensity. Zena Crown Vineyard - Adds tension and minerality. Grapes were picked to achieve minerality, floral and citrus zest flavors, while ensuring energy is maintained. Whole-cluster pressing drives purity of fruit expression and partial Malolactic Fermentation adds salinity and tension. The wine aged in 25% new French oak barrels for 13 months to build richness and elevate the wine without interfering with freshness. Willakenzie Estate
