Winemaker Nate Klostermann strikes again with this expression of apple, lemon and soft tropical fruit notes that ride vibrant acidity while managing a rich texture in the mid palate. There’s some toasty oak here that adds a little coconut vibe, and everything is well integrated throughout. I’m still waiting for a klunker from this house, but not holding my breath.
