Bright yellow-gold appearance. Rich citrus fruit aroma with oak-derived aromas such as toast and vanilla. Rich ripe fruit flavor and mellow acidity spread in the mouth in a well-balanced way. Adulation is a winery run by two Italians, Stefano and Valentina, in Napa Valley, California. They purchase grapes from high-quality producers throughout California, mainly from producers in Napa Valley, where they are based, to make wine. They bottle 1 million cases of wine a year at their state-of-the-art winery, and under their policy of "Flexibility and Adaptation," they produce a wide range of products suitable for the market, from low-priced wines with excellent cost performance to premium wines.
