Tasting Notes

This 2006 wine begins with bright citrus aromas, including pink grapefruit and Meyer lemon. The nose will evolve to also include richer melon hues including cantaloupe and honeydew. The palate is consistent with the nose, embodying crisp citrus and melon flavors. The addition of Sauvignon Musque strengthens the mid-palate and renders a softer, longer finish.
