Precision and texture. Aromas of Asian pear, flamed lemon zest, tiny white field flowers, shortbread cookies, and crushed stone, are accented with flavors of Meyer lemon zest, dragonfruit, almonds, and seashells. On the palate, this wine has refreshing acidity upfront and a kiss of minerality on the lingering finish.
