This wine is mostly estate fruit, along with a dash (13%) from Celilo Vineyard's 1980 plantings. The aromas pull you in, with notes of pear, yellow apple, star fruit and kisses of pineapple and spice, showing an appealing purity. The palate has concentration and richness, but also exquisite balance and dexterity. Lemony notes persist on the finish. The acid balance is spot on, and as always with this producer, it's all about grace and subtlety. Give it some additional time in bottle to see it at its best.
