(all sauvignon musque and 100% new oak): Hazy, green-tinged straw. An explosively perfumed bouquet evokes fresh citrus fruits, ginger and smoky minerals, with a suave floral accent. Taut and penetrating on the palate, offering intense Meyer lemon, green apple and honeysuckle flavors that are deepened by a vanilla nuance. Closes with superb clarity and length, leaving a stony note behind. This label is a new joint project of husband-and-wife team Bibiana Gonzalez-Rave (ex-Lynmar, currently at Pahlmeyer's Wayfarer project and her own Cattleya project) and Jeff Pisoni, of Pisoni Vineyards and Winery.
