Light straw yellow color with nice clarity. Pleasantly herbaceous – rosemary, coriander. Lime peel, wet clay, white peaches, lemon curd, mandarin orange, pie crust. Tart acid jumps out front. Fresh lemons, sea salt, guava, lemon jolly ranchers – tart. Green apples. Background flavors of toasty brioche or sourdough bread. Acid is tart and carries through from start to finish. Vibrant minerality combined with acidity makes for a lively wine with hints of richness on the finish.

A blend of barrels from Huber Vineyard that highlight the beauty of this cool-climate site in the Sta Rita Hills. Planted in the late ‘80’s, these vines are going on 30 years of age. Clone is 100% Wente clone, own-rooted. The vineyard sits in a very cold, low elevation pocket of SRH along Highway 246 corridor. Sandy soils.
