Estimate
...suave, intensely perfumed bouquet features fresh pear, tangerine, iodine, buttered toast and smoky minerals that show superb definition and spicy lift. Penetrating, concentrated and sharply focused; a core of juicy acidity supports powerful orchard and citrus fruit and honeysuckle flavors that deepen through the midpalate. Rich but lithe as well, with superb finishing energy and mineral-driven tenacity.
Here is top-tier Oregon fruit perfectly handled, so as to express place, variety and winemaker in equal balance. Tree fruits and apple skins, buoyed by a mouthfeel accented with creamy lees, follow up with a light pat of butter.
Refined and sleek, with lush pear and quince flavors accented by toasted spice notes that build richness and complexity on the long finish.
Stony nose! Quite rich and vibrant. Racy and exciting. Lightly chewy end. Fresh acidity.
