2020 Vintage- The 2020 West Block reveals a vintage of uncommon weight, complexity and power coupled with a clear sense of place. Aromas of orange peel and Meyer lemon along with complex brioche notes are artfully framed by French oak. Flavors of wildflower honey, lemon cream éclairs, and fragrant linden flower unfold on the palate and lead to a lingering finish. While accessible now, this wine will cellar for ten years or more.
This wine shows at its best with full-flavored foods. Mouth-watering pairings include lobster ravioli or lobster roll with aioli sauce, fresh sea bass in lemon beurre blanc, Veal Milanese, or veal loin with a morel cream sauce. Gnocchi with sage and butter is an excellent vegetarian option.
