Floral on the nose. Opens up to rubber and intense pineapple. Starts sweeter and ends with bitter lemon, apple and salt.

Great all around. The clear winner. Richer stone fruit, good acid, rocks, drinking now but ageable. ECKBERG vineyard. Loooooong finish.

Overpowered by acid. Needs time. Still very good. 2012. Minerality, slight white peach. DUDENSTEIN vineyard.
