Blind Assessment

Crisply sweet-tart, balanced, bright. Nectarine, narcissus, Meyer lemon zest, nougat, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with lively, almost effervescent acidity; satiny-smooth, fluffy mouthfeel. The lingering finish leads with notes of nectarine and narcissus, rounding to nougat in the long.
