Volcanic soils from DDO’s Roserock vineyard. Whole cluster press, 20% new French oak.

This wine is bright, light golden in color. Aromas of green apple, lemon pulp, and florals jump out of the glass with some swirling. Very luscious mouthfeel, silky and substantial. Acidity is medium plus. Alcohol is present, maybe a tiny bit more noticeable than my palate prefers at 14.1%, but it’s not necessarily out of balance. The structural elements are very nice, satisfies the hedonism you want. Palate has citrus, apples, pears, peach pits, ginger, vanilla, and lip smacking minerality punch.

This is an excellent wine. It’s ready to drink now, but will be fine to lie down for a few years as well. I’d give it 94/100 points, very happy with it.
