The wine explodes out of the glass with aromas of apricot, nectarine and melon. These fruit aromas are combined with notes of oak spice accented with hints of vanilla, toasted nuts with a touch of butterscotch and the subtlest hint of cinnamon and clove. As you taste the wine you experience an elegantly rich, medium-bodied, silky, mouth-filling wine. This vintage has the distinctive Sonoma-Cutrer balance with creamy, rich flavors of ripe pear and peach contrasted with vibrant acidity and a long barrel spice finish.
