"Vineyard on loess. Partially barrel-fermented. No new oak. White peaches, pink peach skin, apricots, walnut skin. There is something tree-bark-like folded into the fruit which sounds awful but is actually delicious. Strata of fruit and nuts and white spices and sweet-green-leaf notes. Broad length and great crumpled-paper texture."
