Top Notes For
Byron C Mayes

Deep gold. Abundant nose of dried apricots. Confirmed on the big full palate which adds white pepper and lots of vanilla bean. Acidity is moderate, but enough to compensate for the massive dollop of oak and apricot. Lengthy, continuing finish. The new entry point for the oaky Carneros style. Enjoy with hearty seafood or poultry dishes. Drink now.
