64% Pinot Noir, 36% Chardonnay. 44% Sonoma, 30% Napa, 20% Mendocino, 6% Marin. Picked 4 August to 10 September. 24% barrel fermentation. TA: 8.3 g/l, pH 3.17, RS 9.2 g/l. Two years on lees. Released 1 December 2018. Clear bottle and medium pink. Fruity birthday-party nose, like watermelon daiquiri and raspberry jelly/Jell-O. The residual sugar becomes very prominent as the wine warms, so take care to drink very cold. Turkish delight with some pretty sharp grapefruit juice splashed on top. Not sophisticated or long enough for the price tag. (TC)
