Top Notes For
Revisiting vintage. So much fresh peach and apricot flavor with length! Impressive varietal expression from grapes in the cool van Duzer Corridor where their estate is located, though not all the grapes come from that AVA. Still, one of the best American Grüners I’ve tasted. Delightfully dry, mild white pepper finish.
