"Right out of the gate this is strikingly pure, floral and succulent on the nose, showing aromas of fresh roses, cherry blossoms and sandalwood. Red-fruited and bright on the palate, there is an authenticity and definition throughout the texture that is refreshing and captivating. It finishes with an ethereal, clean tannin structure. A candid and genuine expression of Yountville."
