2018 Sonoma Coast Extended Elevage
Toasted vanilla, warm brioche, and baking spices greet the nose. On the palate is a dance of white peach and fallen apple with a creamy texture. It elegantly rounds off with well-integrated tannins, offering a lush and fulfilling finish.
Winemaker’s Notes
Highlighting the beauty of the appellation and vintage. Crisp, bright, with long velvety finish Extended barrel aging, creates an elegant, luscious mouthfeel. Age-worthy, but drinks well now. Elevage means to “raise up” the wine. This vintage saw an extra 6 months in barrel. It’s bright and crisp with an elegant finish.
