Chardonnay 47%, Pinot Noir 43%, Pinot Meunier 10%. Aromas of ripe lemon, lemon zest, white peach skin, wet rock, seaspray, seaweed, and sourdough make for a complex opening. The palate has a good architectural appeal, showing a backbone of Pinot Noir influence. Strawberry, pink grapefruit, preserved lemon, with toastiness in support. All of this before a structural finish carrying the preserved lemon bitterness long. This punches above its price point thanks to solid complexity, structure and length.
