The clonal blend is 64% Wente and 36% Robert Young. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.

A spicy, flinty, snappy edge to the green apple and pear flavors, gives this a nice structure. The finish features cleansing acidity and a Golden Delicious apple aftertaste. Drink now through 2017. 450 cases made. –JL

Vivid gold.  Sexy, expansive aromas of pit fruits, hazelnut and musky lees, with a subtle iodine nuance adding complexity.  Rich and supple but dry, with a lightly spicy quality and gentle sweetness to its flavors of peach nectar, orange marmalade, ginger and nutty oak.  Finishes with very good persistence, echoing the ginger and orange notes.  This fruit was sourced from the Rodgers Creek Vineyard.
