Lovely aromas and flavors of cooked peaches and straw. Medium to full body. Creamy texture. Flavorful finish. Salty and minerally. Pumice, too. Drink now.
The Calvarino vineyard is situated on classic volcanic basalt soils and is always un-oaked and 'minerally' in style reminiscent of a top quality Chablis but with more melony roundness. The 2017 has fantastic intensity and an attractive spiciness on the mid-palate. A flinty minerality with citric fruits lending plenty of 'zip' followed by an exotic fleshy roundness on the end palate. Great stuff and will only improve further with bottle age.
Heady aromas of yellow stone fruit, spring flower and wild herb mingle with a whiff of toasted nut. The elegant, savory palate delivers ripe apricot, creamy yellow pear and tangerine zest before a mineral-laden, saline finish. Tangy acidity brightens the rich flavors. For juicy fruit enjoy now, or hold for even more complexity. Drink through 2027.
