Nectarine, pear, honeydew melon, papaya, and pineapple notes are the first aromatics you notice, followed by tangerine and lemon curd. All this developed fruit translates very well on the palate, which is marked by creamy texture and balanced by crisp acidity. The depth, complexity and intensity of the flavors carry through on the long, delicious finish.

- ($27) Pale yellow. Musky aromas of peach, pear, white flowers, quinine, ginger and dusty stone. Fairly rich, oaky sauvignon with a zesty quality to its flavors of lime, peach and mint. Finishes firm, dry and serious.

- Hints of shaved lime and lemon skins, salt in the nose. The palate is loaded with body. Dusty lemon and grapefruit with smoothly harmonized acidity on the finish.
