Ripe stone fruit and mineral-driven citrus show impressive concentration on the palate. Oak integration is seamless, lending subtle vanilla and toast without overwhelming the fruit. Full-bodied with vibrant acidity that drives the wine through the mid-palate, though it falls short on the back end where more persistence is needed.
