It has a dry yet rich finish. It has a rich lemon oil aroma, a supple and viscous texture, and spreads smoothly in the mouth.
Technical information
The beer is fermented and aged in three different types of fermentation tanks, bringing out a rich, voluminous and complex flavor.
1. Fermentation and aging in barrels (light toast) made by Stockinger in Hungary.
2. Fermentation and aging in cigar barrels. These are long, cigar-like barrels. The increased surface area with the lees gives the wine more flavor.
3. Fermentation and aging in stainless steel tanks. Retains acidity and freshness. Blends the three, settles, and bottles.
Tasting Comments
Dry yet rich finish.
A rich aroma of lemon oil emerges, and the texture is supple and viscous, spreading smoothly throughout the mouth.
Intense with hints of gorgeous herbs and rich flavors of white peach, pear and grapefruit.
The pleasant slight bitterness suggests it goes well with a variety of dishes.
It is rich but not heavy, has excellent acidity, and leaves a long, complex aftertaste.
Aiming to be the California version of Pouilly-Fumé, it is delicious to drink now, but will become even more unique and enjoyable with a few years of aging.
Field Information
The 2022 vintage is a blend of three distinct vineyards in Sonoma Valley.
1. Uboldi Vineyards is located in the northern part of Sonoma Valley, north of the town of Kenwood, at the foot of Sonoma Mountain, on a steep slope (facing east) with many stones and rocks, which gives the wine structure and a solid quality.
2. Judge Family Vineyards is located in Bennett Valley, a sub-AVA in the northwest of Sonoma Valley, and is blessed with cool, foggy, windy and rocky soil.
It features a fragrant citrus scent and a hint of thick oil.
3. From Block 3 of Bedrock Vineyard, the quality of the wine improves with each passing year as the vines age, and the herbal nuances, pleasant smooth mouthfeel, and fresh fruitiness are more pronounced.
